Overclocking iBook 500 - advise

[massie]

ive heard that my iBook 500 can be upgraded from a 500/66 to a 600/100

The one thing I can say is watch out for heat issues. Plastic can melt!

There ate two comprehensive online guides for this: xlr8yourmac (http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/ibook_2001_overclock/ibook_2001_overclock.html) and Carl and Stan's (http://norum.homeunix.net/~carl/mods/overclock/) page. I haven't hacked up my iBook 500 yet, but successfully overclocking my G4/400 has given me some confidence. Instead of desoldering and soldering resistors, it's easier to cut traces with a scalpel blade and draw in connections with a conductive pen. The hardest thing about the iBook mod seems to be taking the damn thing apart!
