That's just the last 2 hours or so betfore I slept.
Then I plugged it into my PC's USB to let it charge overnight.
This morning, watched another 45mins straight of xvid avi file on the train.

But I don't expect everyone to have similar results. As I mentioned in my guide, I reckon only about 1/4 at best would actually be useable and stable at 1Ghz. Maybe I'm lucky. Maybe not. =P
Youtube videos were fine for me as well on 900, but justintv flash was crashing my browser....games and videos were great as well.....maybe it`s just that website that has the problem, but it didn`t have this problem before overclocking.

Click on the poker channel, and then make it full screen.When I do the browser crashes.

Can play this channel all day long on 800mhz

This is like overclocking on the PC....you think that your system is stable until you get a crash on heavy usage....then boom ...it hits you that your system is not stable....this also happens months or years later, when your hardware are stressed, forcing you to drop the frequency down because they can cope with the overclocking.....this is first hand experience from the celeron 800 overclocking days
