Not to mention a cpu with a factory clock of 1 GHz will be more likely able to be overclocked to, say, 1.5 GHz or more.

nokia is aware of the overclocking, and it being one of the largest threads on this site. it seems redundant to paint a new chasis and sell it to the same ppl ... thats whats what im trying to say. is that it needs to be a full quantified upgrade from the reference board up to the storage and OS.
If the fact that a cpu can be overclocked to be faster than a newer, maybe more expensive cpu at the factory clock speed is proof that the newer cpu is pointless, why aren't we all still using overclocked Intel 4004s?
