sawtooth 500mhz to 550mhz?

[aaron7e7]

I was reading some articles on the internet about overclocking the G4 sawtooth. The guy said that overclocking 100mhz is going to make the system unstable, so the most i could overclock is to 550mhz, thats only 50mhz. Is that going to make much of a diff?
Thanks

I doubt that you will see much improvement. But, 50 free MHz are 50 free MHz- if you can do it safely then go for it. Faster/better performance for $0.00 = a good deal.

Of course, that's assuming you know what you're doing and you don't end up with 0MHz, because that's suck.

Ya, ending up with 0MHz would really, really suck!

umm im really not all that sure. I think he is just afraid of something being better then microsoft and he says that "they arent open architecture" He doesn't know much about mac. and doesn't want to learn but other then that...its just any other reason why pc lovers hate mac.

Sadly, it does not take much to be better than M$.
