Want to run your MacBook Pro Faster ?
TGDaily has a great article on How to overclock your MacBook Pro a little faster by Wolfgang Gruener which is a great read.
Overclocking a Mac pro can be a very lucrative deal, if you think about it. Stepping up from the cheapest dual-CPU Mac pro model (2.8 GHz Xeon E5462) to the most expensive version (3.2 GHz Xeon X5482) will cost you $1600 in upgrades. Kai Schmerer, editor-in-chief of the German version of ZDNet claims you can get that performance upgrade for free. Well, almost.
The ZDNet guys developed a simple Mac overclocking tool (with an English interface), which Schmerer says will take a Mac Pro with two 2.66 GHz X5355 CPUs to a stable 3.1 GHz and the 2.8 GHz version to 3.241 GHz (there will be variations from CPU to CPU). His team found that the overclocked Mac Pro runs faster than the most expensive Mac Pro. So that will save you $1600, right. Maybe. It actually depends on your needs, since a Mac is not the most overclocking-friendly system out there.
