1. install Linux kernel for power user:

open your app manager,find and install "Enchanced Linux Kernel for Power user"

if don't get that application,you should add this new catalog on you app manager :

Code:
Catalog name :Maemo extras-devel
Web address : http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel
Distribution : fremantle
Components : free non-free
than Refresh the catalog.

2. After installation, turn off device and start it. Dont use reboot button or sudo reboot. Just turn off and reboot

3.Now to overclock, open xterminal and type the following
First gain root by typing

Code:
sudo gainroot
Then type,

Code:
echo 800000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

Dont go over 1ghz...

for monitoring system [processor/ram/etc] you can install
