Overclocking:
1. Decreases the life of your system
2. Voids the Warranty
3. Could cause a fire(I've seen it happen)
4. Causes MANY other problems.
As well, I'm not so sure if it can be done on Macs(Thumbs up for Apple on that one...Who wants to see a dead Mac?)
immdb said:#1 how can you tell?
#2 I would agree with
#3 overclocked a little too much!
#4 ???
I overclocked a B/W shortly after I got it (new) and it is still being used everyday without a problem.

sivp said:The correct term of overcloacking is when you manually configure your hardware to use a little more voltage then it really should. This will increas the speed, but in turn it will decrease reliability, life span, and just cause a great deal of problems for like an extra 3 seconds loading something..
I don't recommend it.
