What does Overclock (OC) means?

Overclocking is the process of running a computer component at a higher clock rate (more clock cycles per second) than it was designed for or was specified by the manufacturer, usually practiced by enthusiasts seeking an increase in the performance of their computers. Some purchase low-end computer components which they then overclock to higher clock rates, or overclock high-end components to attain levels of performance beyond the specified values. Others overclock outdated components to keep pace with new system requirements, rather than purchasing new hardware.[1]

People who overclock their components mainly focus their efforts on processors, video cards, motherboard chipsets, and random-access memory (RAM). It is done through manipulating the CPU multiplier and the motherboard's front side bus (FSB) clock rate until a maximum stable operating frequency is reached, although with the introduction of Intel's new X58 chipset and the Core i7 processor, the front side bus has been replaced with the QPI (Quick Path Interconnect); often this is called the Baseclock (BCLK). While the idea is simple, variation in the electrical and physical characteristics of computing systems complicates the process. CPU multipliers, bus dividers, voltages, thermal loads, cooling techniques and several other factors such as individual semiconductor clock and thermal tolerances can affect it. Every component has its unique limits with higher clocks and voltage. Two different CPUs may clock completely differently, one being stable with higher clocks at a similar temperature as the other. The bus and memory stability and tolerances also affect how stable an overclocking can be.[2]

Here's some of modification that I remember.Credit to meLi,D4klar(maemo talk) & few others that I don't remember.
All the instructions are in zip files.

I'll start with the easiest way to mod which is with OpenSSH/WinSCP.

2)Remember to set password for root when asked.If you forgot follow these step.
i)Open X-Terminal
ii)Press "sudo gainroot"
iii)Press "passwd"
iv)Set your password & exit
3)Download WinSCP from http://winscp.net/eng/download.php#googtrans/it/es
4)In order to connect N900 & PC/Laptop you should know your phone IP address.It can be done with X-Terminal.
i)Open X-Terminal
ii)Press "sudo gainroot"
iii)Press "ifconfig"


IP address is the 1 highlighted.
5)Run WinSCP
6)Your hostname is your IP address,username is root & password is the 1 you just set.
7)When you press connect WinSCP should show 2 window now.

Now you guys should know why I really hate to talk things with iPhone fans.
Usually this is how the discussion will be:

iPhone user : N900 not responsive like iPhone wei.It's not good as iPhone overall.
N900 user : I had to admit N900 isn't perfect.But there somethings that this phone does better.etc ect.
iPhone user : Don't care.N900 still sucks.iPhone x1000 better.

iPhone user : We have great facebook app that allow us to browse facebook very well.
N900 user:Who need shitty app when you can open the real thing with full fledged browser?

tak habis-habis Iphone..hahaha..

why no nexus one..sikit-sikit Iphone..overated..overprice..over-useless-app..can't change battery..have to jailbreak..

wanna flame n900 ka?want to say its n900 faults that u can't fully utilise it?

N900 is a step further in TECHNOLOGY..having an internet tablet with phone capabilities..not like other phones which "mobile phone with basic internet/computer thing"..

comparing Iphone with N900 is like comparing an APPLE with DURIAN..

giv an apple to a kid..they'll start eating it..chewing it..play with it..thats Iphone..totally straight forward.

giv a durian to a kid..they'll start to cry..coz if they get it wrong to open it,the duri2 will cucuk you..so,this is when they give up..but they dont know how sedapppp can the durian be..durian can make BUBUR DURIAN..TEMPOYAK..durian also can CRUSH APPLE..

so basically....why would you go through a hard way in learning N900 if u can't appreciate its capabilities..so u're better off with iphone which is straightforward..unlike N900..u HAVE TO LEARN! but that's the best thing..u learn..u learn u learn..it never ends..there's always something new about N900 everyday..the scripts..the codings..the xterm command...the USEFUL application..and so on..

so, why don't u Iphone fanboys start a thread..iphone vs n900..

owh yea..new users,pls read the first post for valuable information..aspire has put up a lot of work there..i know its a pain to follow the thread everyday..but really...the first page has a very good information for every new users..

Talk about over-protection, recently my colleague told me that his brother bought iPhone and argued that his pictures taken was better my friend's N86. Wahaha, that's a big joke.

In short, when you're crazy over a brand, everything is good. even the MONO speaker sound nice and is the best. WAKAKA rclxm9.gif
