1) Overclock won't cancel your warranty: http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/2008
2) Stability is differ from board to board. Read the article.

You have no idea whether it will be stable unless you try it.

Overclocking will ONLY affect the warranty if:
You use both Force_Turbo=1 and Over_Voltage or if you use current_limit_overide, or if you set temp_limit above 85. As far as I know there is no other way to void the warranty by overclocking.
