PR information can only be found out if you visit the firmware downloads page on tablets-dev.nokia website.
I would advise warning on overclocking as you will shorten the life of your device, may make the device unusable at times. Even after overclocking and you have decided to stick with the normal speeds your device may not behave normally like it used to.
Its sad to see another quality N900 been laid to waste, just make sure to not buy it from this owner if he ultimately sells an overclocked (and now unusable) device.

When you overclock, you are just deciding to try a different range.
Sure there's no thread of one demonstrated instance of overclocking does damage but you could at least agree that with a CPU that has NO form of active cooling, is stuck inside a small little box could actually live long enough? Have you never heard of stories where with normal desktop CPU that one has not placed the heatsink on and that melted the CPU when the computer was turned on? Have you not heard of stories where people overclocked their desktop computers whilst running on stock heatsink and fan and noticed they started facing issues with lockups? Do you not think those would not affect a puny little handheld device like the N900?
I never denied that N900 came overclocked from the manufacturer, I'm just further advising against any more adjustments to increase that overclocked limit because you may (note the word MAY) shorten the lifespan of the device.
Also adjusting the higher clock frequency without actually utilising that frequency does not actually affect the device however under full load (remember, the device is not dumb enough to stick itself under highest frequency unless you chose to also increase the lower clock frequency).

Right now i am working to to increase /home/ size for applications. I will set it to 10gb (to be sure it is big enough)
