overclocking is great if you bought a 1.8 GHZ processor for say $200, when the 2.4's were selling for $350. so if i can get an extra 600 mhz, for 150 less.

thats the primary reason for overclocking. the other is the "penis size contest" ohhh, my computer runs 1 mhz faster than yours!. that kinda thing.

still, an extra 10 frames/sec does make a difference. if your autocad can redraw the image twice as fast, productivity goes up.

gotta add this: now, my friend has a saying. "Putting a wing on a Honda is like putting a wing on a hampster." so i think the same can be said about overclocking a ppc. why? so solitare runs just a touch faster? so your notice for your appts. pops up a nano second sooner? its kinda stupid on a ppc, but i can understand it on a desktop pc.
