Can that down-clocking hurt the card in any way?

I tried this on my G400MAX, and indeed this line from xserver output:
(--) SVGA: Maximum allowed dot-clock: 300.000 MHz
changed to:
(--) SVGA: Maximum allowed dot-clock: 360.000 MHz

But I doubt that will accomplish much, since the highest dot-clock value I'm
using in my Modelines is waaaaaay below, at 91.207 :)
