Overclocking has been identified as major cause of Windows instability, and the worse part is that many people don't know they're overclocked, and the others don't think it matters much.

The article looks convincing enough, but I'm not willing to test it. This how-to details how to overclock a Mac mini to 1.58GHz but the nearly microscopic jumpers make this soldering challenge a bit too daunting for a humble graphics geek like me...then again, the Mac mini is so cheap, it's almost disposable. Let us know if any of you were brave enough to attempt this feat.

Stealth Overclocking


Stealth Overclocking 04/12/2005 01:05 PM

There's an awful lot of overclocking out there: The Windows team at Microsoft was getting some bizarre crash reports. They followed up on 10 of them, and found that five people had intentionally overclocked their system. As for the rest:

The other half said, "What's overclocking?" He called them and walked them through some configuration information and was able to conclude that they were indeed all overclocked. But these people were not overclocking on purpose. The computer was already overclocked when they bought it. These "stealth overclocked" computers came from small, independent "Bob's Computer Store"-type shops, not from one of the major computer manufacturers or retailers.

So are these shops buying slower processings, then overclocking them and selling them as CPUs of the actual speed they've been overclocked to? Sneaky. Sleazy.

OK, Who's Overclocking The Earth? 12/31/2003 01:14 PM
Remember back in 1999 when people started talking about "internet time", which was this crazy notion that, thanks to the internet, the usual course of business went much much much faster? Well, it sounds like the Earth tried to get in on some of that, as it's now been revealed that since 1999, our home planet has been making it's annual trek around the sun one second faster than it was for quite some time. Between 1972 and 1999, we had to add a special "leap second" each year, since the Earth was slowing down, and losing a step. However, since 1999, for reasons no one is quite sure, the Earth appears to have caught a second wind and is speeding up a bit.

From our friends at Engadget, and here.
Overclock your Mac mini to as much as 1.58GHz

854.jpg

So you’re feeling lucky with that new Mac mini of yours, are you? But lucky enough to pop off a couple soldered jumpers on the motherboard in order to get an extra couple hundred MHz out of the thing? Oh really? And what if the chip doesn’t take the overclock, and runs unstable, as they often do? (You might not know this, but overclocking is more of a PC thing.) Well, step right up then, Mac mini enthusiasts have sorted out how to get 1.5 and 1.58GHz out of your cute little new box—whether it wants to or not. We can’t wait for the water cooling mods.

Cory Doctorow: These guys are overclocking their tired old Nintendo Entertainment Systems, cranking them up so that the games go all non-linear:
Super Mario Bros.
This game ran fine up to about 4.0 MHz when the graphics went insane. It maintained stability no matter what. I couldn't get it to crash except going past that.

Super Mario Bros. 3
This also ran nicely, but the graphics went nuts around 3.6 MHz. It maxed out around 4.2 MHz, but wouldn't crash unless pushed further.

Kirby's Adventure
This game lags like mad all the time, so the gameplay is actually noticably slower at the stock speed. Using the abilities like Fire and Spark, especially around enemies using them as well, can grind the game to a halt. At 3.0 MHz or so the lag was pretty much entirely removed, and gameplay smoothed out tremendously. Around 3.4 MHz however, the graphical corruption became very, very bad. The status bar at the bottom of the screen started to rise up onto the game area. The higher the clock, the higher it went, blocking out my view of the game. Then the topmost sprite layer started to go insane around 4.0 MHz. The game kept running stably in the background though. ;)

Chip'n'Dale's Rescue Rangers
It's very hard to find lag in this game, but there are a few distinct points. These were smoothed out at 2.3-2.6 MHz, but the game ran stable up to 4.4 MHz. Past 4.0 MHz however, the sprite layer went nuts like the other games, with random tiles flashing everywhere. No crashes however!
