Based on what I know. The chip in the N900 should run @ 550, with 600 being a default "overclock". Running 550 gives the device a lifetime of 10 years. 600 5 years, that's half the lifetime for a 50MHz increase (rough estimate). afaik these values are from TI (texas instruments) themselves. My rough estimes: 650MHz, 2.5 years, 700MHz 1.25... you can guess the rest I suppose. Also, according to joerg_rw, an engineer (not at Nokia mind you), damage to the CPU occurs due to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromigration, not thermal factors.
