Actually the Mac was one of the first computers to be overclocked. I remember overclocking my Mac IIsi from 20Mhz to 25Mhz by desoldering the 40MHz cpu oscillator and installing a 50MHz oscillator. At that time intel chips were frequency locked with a PLL so I was told. I think this was around 1991.

But five steps forward for knowing that Doom will now comfortably run.

And FTW, it looks like an iPhone rip-off. Apple invented overclocking.
(not really, its sarcasm)
Don't hate the player, hate the game!
