Overclocking a laptop is a really, really bad idea... Doing so on one of these compact netbooks seems like a recipe for disaster.

Even without the overclocking, my CPU score in Vista went from 2.6 -> 3.1 using the 1.09 bios. Using the overclocking @ 24% the Wind still is barely warm to the touch. With the OC @ 1.92ghz the cpu score is 3.3. Now, I know the Vista score isn't exactly a very good benchmark, but going from 2.6 to 3.1 at the same clock speed is a very noticeable jump, even in everyday usage. Very worthwhile update.

in their testing with 3DMark03, the 24% overclock setting reportedly bumped the system's score from 716 to 929—a 30% boost.
Going from a whisper to a gust... |

You can do both with the Eee 9xx (and likely all these "netbooks"), don't see what the big deal is.
In fact, underclocking is really what ASUS "Super Hybrid Engine"[sic] (which is what they use to get their 7 hours or whatever battery time number) is all about. Under linux you can do the same thing with using the asus_eee module. |

I thought the aim is "more battery life" not "more heat and noise". -_-
Now, if we could underclock and/or undervolt... |
