You're right, I should have quickly googled that. I shouldn'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't explicitly support overclocking, it's not just Apple. So what. it doesn't mean you can't. I'm sure someone has done it.

@aki

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'm not the enemy, man!

This conversation is all over the place... it's kinda counter productive.

@Alan No overclocking on atom processors? Only on Core i7?

And please do not forget that you get 2 miserable USB ports. I hear no whining about this either. ;-)

@Alan, 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't hear you whining about the price comparison either, especially on hardware. :-)
