Intel® Processors

Well it was only a matter of time before someone started to play around with the clock speeds of the OLPC XO, Yep that’s right someone has taken this once innocent UMPC and overclocked the CPU.

One reader who has tried this simple tweak has noticed an increase in performance by 21.8 percent. The one 433MHz is now boasted to 588MHz, the RAM which was 166MHz is now 233MHz. The result is a much smoother UMPC, however as with all computers that you overclock, please be careful as your little OLPC XO could decide to give up on you.
