Okay chucker, so you're saying a system builder like Apple who takes a 1 GHz rated part like the XPC7455 RX1000SC and then runs it +25% out of Motorola's spec...that's not overclocking?

What Apple did in 2003 is no different that what Alienware/Dell and graphics card makers do. There's even a term for it: factory overclocking!
