I have a X1950GT and it handles an OC pretty well but the cards run hot, especially the Sapphire cards like mine. I wouldn't worry about overclocking it, enjoy the 4870 when you get it.

Mine usually runs around 46-48ºC idle... if I OC it then it hits the mid 50s easy and I have seen mid 60s under load at stock speeds.

edit: I just ran the ATI Overdrive automatic OC utility in the CCC and it initially went up to mid 60s under load but is now hanging around 53ºC idle with the overclock.
It is showing 594MHz GPU and 695MHz memory (stock is 500/600 respectively).
Room/ambient temp is 80ºF
