id be happy if i could clock it to at least 800, but a 5 or 10% isnt gonna make a blind bit of differenece

Not really, I've been monitoring and mine averages 60-70% at 600. I notice a lot of slowdowns and brief non-responsiveness while the CPU is pegged. Why? It 'appears' random, but haven't had the time or energy to mess with finding out.
My hunch would be by monitoring, you'll actually drive up the cpu use, which will drive up the clock speed (thats how ondemand works)
The random pegging most likely has to do with tracker deciding it needs to look over your media again...

Hold up. Don't confuse the Cortex A8 with the OMAP3430. The Cortex A8 can scale up to 1GHz+ but that doesn't mean the OMAP3430 can. The OMAP3430 is rated at 600MHz. Go above that and you're over clocking, end of story. If you mean other devices with the OMAP3430, please provide references. I would be genuinely interested.

The only issue is if it might cause a problem with other hardware - these devices weren't made to take different hardware so you never know. I'd try increments of 10Mhz or so until you reach 800 stable if you want to go through with this - remember there may be no way to reset the clock speed. You can't reflash if it doesn't boot because the clock speed is too high.

Interesting discussion here, folks 
I don't know enough about this hardware to contribute anything useful whatsoever, but this thread is a great read.
Someone tell me how to make it set on teh fiarz plz

I've been overclocking my computer's CPU since the 486 days.
First ever overclock was from 486 50mhz to a whopping 60mhz.
If someone can make an overclocking app for N900, I'll use it 100%.
Heck, I'm sure someone will come up with a better cooling solution. =P

Hi
First, I must say, that I'm a total noob in Linux things, but maybe this link can help you to develop a way to set the clockrate to a fix range.
That're the first steps on the Android T-Mob G1.

The link claims OMAP3430 @ 600MHz as well? If devices come clocked by the manufacturer above 600MHz, that would be interesting to me.
I'm not claiming that you can't overclock the omap3430, just that it's not supposed to be clocked above 600MHz.

Is it absolutely certain it's not an OMAP3440 ? It would make a lot more sense.
