I've been doing a little research and haven't found any reports of overclocking damaging the processor beyond use. Understandably, any damage to your Axim from continuously overclocking the processor voids your warranty, but has it ever come to that in anyone's experience?
Also, I'm wondering what the effects of the lifespan of the processor is...
Supposedly, with a regular PC processor, the percent increase is supposed to decrease the life of your processor by that amout, i.e a 200 Mhz overclocked to 300 Mhz would half the lifespan. I'm curious as to how much of a hit the xScale's would take on lifespan. Gauging the typical life of a PDA, I'm sure the processor would last longer than most of the other components, so this may be a moot question.
I wish I had the disposable income, I'd buy a few machines to test...

Im your man!!! I used TurboTray and at first it was running but I had 2 icons in the tray. So I soft reset and thats when it hit the fan. I got some error message saying the rom will be reset and I was like ok. I hit the ok button and nothing is happening so I soft reset again and thats it no more axim. Hard reset got me nothing. Called dell and told them my axim doesnt work they troubleshooted over the phone. The extent of the troubleshooting was this, "Did you reset the axim? Did you try a hard Reset? Did you try removing the batteries? Ok well we are sending you a new axim. DO NOT USE TurboTray though it is free you might just get the same thing I got a paperweight. By the way in a few weeks there will be a new firmware update or bios update or something like that. They said my new axim would ship in a few weeks because they are trying to work some software isssue. The tech mentioned something not working to its fullest potential so im stuck without a handheld for a few days.
Stats of my handheld: OS Microsoft Pocket PC Version 4.20.1081 (Build 13100)
Processor Intel PXA255
memory 64 mb
Good luck with OC
