It was on the list a few weeks ago - the main reason is the ram divisor - clocking the cpu higher means clocking the ram lower, means lowering the total throughput. So it's a question of requirements. Lowering the ramclock for having the cpu at a higher speed is not worth it.<br>
Another point is the power consumption at 500 MHz. Not worth it, too.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Apr 9, 2008 at 2:00 PM, Daniel Spies <<a href="mailto:daniel.spies@fuceekay.com">daniel.spies@fuceekay.com</a>> wrote:<br>

Or is there anything on the wiki? (Sorry I cannot check it myself right<br>
now.)<br>
