Extracted from ZDnet : http://www.zdnet.de/enterprise/mac/hardwar...192217-1,00.htm

I haven't tried on mine, but the entry level of current Mac Pro with a 2.80 GHz processor (RM10,299/-) can runs significantly faster after overclocking than the most expensive at 3.20 GHz (RM16,799). The price difference between these two machines is RM6,500/-. So any risk takers?.

Got problems after overclocking with:

1-Clock time, since Mac system clock based on CPU speed

2-Restart problem, especially on MaC Pro 1.1

3-Sleep Mode problem..need to disable it..

Since my MacPro is plenty fast (even for an almost two year old machine) I'm not interested in overclocking it.
