Overclocking Your iBook to 600MHz

Posted by timothy on from the clashing-paradigms dept.

Cryptnotic writes: "The guys at Accelerate Your Mac have figured out how to modify the motherboard on the recent Apple iBooks to get them to run at 600MHz with a 100MHz bus speed. There are benchmarks comparing the OC'd iBook to some regular Apple desktop machines. However, what I am wondering most is how this overclocked G3 compares to the much more expensive Apple G4 Powerbook and if it makes it worth voiding the warranty." Remember, not recommended for your iBook.

    You know, if you overclock the all-metal PowerBook G4 to a fast enough speed, put a piece of cheese in between two pieces of bread, and slam it shut between the lid and the handrests for about 5 minutes, you could make a really awesome grilled cheese sandwich.
