Re: Joban's Kernel 2.08 (Overclock, CM7 2.3.7 etc..) **Gyro Fixed
Without getting into a huge explination about overclocking suffice to say that not all chips are created equal. When a chip maker produces a CPU they will test a lot of them and if they consistantly get no errors with a given speed they will mark the processor for that speed. However that doesn't mean you can't dial it up to 11 and get a little more out of your chip some chips will run at far faster speeds than they are speced out, for others not so much, but all of them will run at the advertised speed (600mhz) in our case. The other limiting factor is the rest of the hardware, your CPU may be running at a faster clock cycle but that doesnt mean everything else is. Your memory for instance might not like running with the clock multiplier that matches up with your CPU (AKA stumbling all over itself). Just because one machine can be cranked up to a super fast speed doesnt mean the same model running the same OS will have the same level of tolerance.
