Thats bull.. lets take the tbred xp1700 as an example... If you overclock it to the same speed as a xp2400, it will be exactly as hot as the orginal tbred xp2400 unless you fiddle with the voltage.

When IBM releases the GX-variant of G3, starting at 1.4Ghz, it COULD be possible to overclock it over 2Ghz!!!!!

That is being a little too optimistic i think. Usually the newst model is clocked pretty near the edge of what it can do anyways.. maybe 1.5-1.6g if you are extremly lucky.....

Its easier to overclock newer models of the slower proccessors, since they are manufanctored using the same specs as the fastest models. This is the case with amd and such atleast.

The first thing that comes to my mind: why on earth? What will you do with those few extra mhz?

It makes a pretty big difference with cpu intensive programs like for example video encoding and such... Though i doubt os4 will have much applications like that  :-)  Though it will probably crunch some more seti or dnetc  :-D

i wonder if the a.one board has any overclocking abilities at all?  Anyone knows?
