Test subject, just thrown together, being tested as assembled, no problems as far as regular Win XP goes:

Asrock K7VT4A Pro | AMD Athlon XP2600+ (clocked 180 x 11.5, recognized as XP3000+) | 1G (2x512) PC3200 (reportedly running @ 180+66, tho I have my doubts) unpaired (Elixer & Com-something, few years old) | Gigabyte 6600GT (running at stock atm) | 1x120g IDE, 1x160g IDE, 1 x 250g S1, 1 x 150g S1, DVDRW

Memtest86 run overnight, 14 passes - 1 error @ Test 6 Pass 8 (2 error bits)

The computer is a 2nd pc used for storage, downloading and converting Sky recordings to dvd.

Would u be overly concerned ?
 
I would down the clock from 180 to 175, if it solves the problem. These 5 additional MHz won't give you a noticable boost...but on the other hand, if everything is stable, and I mean, if you can run all games and programs stable, I don't see a reason not to keep it, as stability afterall means that you can run everything stable, so..who cares if there was 1 errors, but everything runs fine???

So...eventually it's up to you do decide, but if you're a bit worried, just clock it down a few megahertz...this is just my 2 cents advice...;)
