you have to get pretty hardcore to OC an Apple- they really don't want you doing things like that:) Usually involves a soldering iron or a new clockgen crystal, at least on the ones I've seen.

I would send a PM to Rugby, he knows more about Macs than anyone else I've run into.

as long as it is not unlocked it should work fine as the mobo wil have to run it at 12x100, i would go for a duron but make sure it is the new core not the old one as they can only hit 1200 tops

btw i have water cooling now, temps are 29 full load at 1000MHz, havn't tried furver
