It's dead easy to do and fully reversable with a click of a button. And it's not really overclocking the CPU as the CPU was made to run at 1.5GHz HP just restricted it so the 64GB version which would have come with the cpu at 1.5GHz would be a bigger step up.

I'd say so Potter yes!! What would it give you over WebOS?

Some actual decent apps would be nice

anyway got some of the patches installed and oc to 1.5 ghz thing is very fast now. i think the patch to increase touch response did the most work

preware games list is a win for me

dasyad · 23 Aug 2011 at 23:08

Gonna dabble with the new kernel for now and overclock later

Bennie-Mac · 24 Aug 2011 at 00:30

Any of you guys who have overclocked it notice any notable performance improvements?

DIABLO · 24 Aug 2011 at 00:31

It's noticable quicker yes.

pingu666 · 24 Aug 2011 at 00:53

Nothing more satisfying than chucking apps off the screen

swooosh

I agree! feels great! I assume it removes them from memory too

there isnt one set as default, just click submit.

not 100% sure but i think so yes.

feels even better when you hold the touchpad up so the home button is on the left hand side, pull the app down below the screen and watch it go whizzing off the top, like an angry bird, with sounds.

also very satisfying is going into card view by swiping up from the bezel onto the screen.

Preware loaded and patches installed. Time for a play before some overclocking.
