Thanks for the quick reply. A follow-up question: Is there a greater danger of damaging a "poor" chip with overclocking. I.e., if the power-kernel's "ideal" profile causes crashes or reboots, should one avoid overclocking altogether, or simply settle for the "lv" profile?

And practically speaking (and I realize the answers to these questions are largely subjective), how much difference is there between the lv and the ulv and/or ideal profiles in terms of a) battery life and b) long-term stability of the device? I suppose lv with 250-850 is nothing to scoff at, but accounts of 1 Mhz with the ulv profile make me envious.
