Your efforts with MAME put you in the god-like category for me, but the 3430 is clocked as standard at 800 mhz in some devices and people have been using the Droid for months at this speed and higher. Temps spike once breaching 1ghz and this appears to be around where the ceiling of the 3430 is.
Again, this assumes the 3430 in the N900 is the same as the Archos 500 MP and Sammy / Motorola phones. A key for the Droid though is that SetCPU allows dynamic profiling.
Battery impact is nominal on the Droid at 800mhz, but I appreciate the N900's OS will not be the same. The evil pulse audio appears to be worse resource hog than Android's java layer

I don't think that this totally harmfull, but the CPU is overclocked only when needed. So ~95% of time it will be at 250/125 Mhz. I will test 1Ghz and if it is non totally stable/too heat/eat too many battery, I will come back to 800/600Mhz.
But a overclocking is very usefull for emulation/ video recording or playback so I want to test

A really big assumption there is that the cooling is the same...
The engineer from Nokia's comment on the issue (for what it's worth) suggested that the N900 is not designed to handle prolonged frequencies above 600 MHz.
In any case, it doesn't alter the facts as i stated them. The relevancy is admittedly highly subjective. I have my Zaurus C860 still. It's at least five years old at this point and until I picked up my N900 it was my everyday PDA. IIRC, the duty cycle of the 3430 at the N900 design spec. is not even five years, and it's probably half of that at 1GHz. I'd like my N900 to last until i have a clear and present need for a replacement, but i understand it's a throwaway society, especially when it comes to tech gadgets and in particular phones.

Its propable that at 1ghz your phone wont even boot and will set itself in a reboot loop.
