Say that the maximum OC i want is 950. the the limits should be 250-950 @ lv profile ONLY?? can i use lower voltages ULV or even XLV?

Whut? Where did you get this from? You can have 250-950@<ANYVOLTAGEPROFILEYOUWANT> (assuming your phone can handle going so low)

From MY OWN experiance, for maximum battery I use 250-805@STARVING with SMARTREFLEX on.

-Smart reflex is the CPU built in powersave mode, it is the best.
-Starving voltage profile is a profile made by a user who was OBSESSED with running at the lowest voltage his n900 could take. (while yours may be able to hande even lower voltagaes or not at all).
-250 as minimum because there is very little differance in voltage use between 250 and 125 but there is better performance with 250.
-805 as max as it seems to be the highest SMARTREFLEX can take without freaking out.

but really if you want a nice simple overclock with very little risk to your system then just use:

Code:

kernel-config load ideal

then you can explore some of the more advanced features when you are ready.

Ignore EVERYTHING epitath and abill_uk ever say, they are the local trolls. I don't know why geneven has derided the advice given here, it is more or less sound info.

For further info, re-read jakimans guide. If you STILL cannot work out how to acheive what you are trying to do then ask SPECIFICALLY how to do it.
