Motorola G4 or IBM 750vx "Mojave" in iBook?

Okay this statement is a joke, but I actually have heard stuff like this...funny

Processors are tested at various speeds when they're manufactured. They are then released at the highest speed they run reliably. So (theoretically) if a G4 passes the test at 1.42GHz, then it's not overclocked.

In the end, what does it matter?
