    You&#39;re right, I should have quickly googled that.  I shouldn&#39;t have
    said it as it detracted from my point.  I was trying to point out
    that Apple is not special; there are many system vendors out there
    which don&#39;t explicitly support overclocking, it&#39;s not just Apple. 
    So what.  it doesn&#39;t mean you can&#39;t.  I&#39;m sure someone has done it.<br>
    <br>
    @aki<br>
    <br>
    You seem to have me pegged as a Mac user and a supporter of closed
    systems...  I use Linux exclusively on my laptop and desktop, a
    personally-compiled CyanogenMod on my phone, OpenWRT on my router, I
    push code to github almost daily, and I donate $$$ to open-source
    software projects.  I&#39;m not the enemy, man!<br>
    <br>
    This conversation is all over the place... it&#39;s kinda counter
    productive.<br><font color="#888888">

                  am quite aware of what runs where on a computer, even
                  if you overclock, the OS has to run the apps. When I
                  make postings here, its under the assumption that the
                  reader already knows where and how the overclocking is
                  done. Can a MAC be overclocked? Infact, with the new
                  machines, the HDD and battery is built into the case.
                  What will you then access? Firewire 800 in a daisy
                  chain config?  I also don&#39;t hear you whining about the
                  price comparison either, especially on hardware. :-)
