For the overclock all I did was set the cpu multiplier to 10.5 and the front side bus to 325MHz. I had the front side bus at 333MHz but after the machine would sleep it would be awake for about 10 mins and would then kernel panic. Backing off the front side bus to 325MHz seems to have fixed that.

I'm new to OC'ing... I just tried this... with an 2.5GHZ E5200 and DDR2-800 ram
On the MIT BIOS page I changed
Freq 200 -> 240
PCI Freq Auto->100
SPD Auto->3.3
This gives me 3.0 GHz on the E5200 (in theory the E5200 has much more headroom than this) and maintains 800MHz on the RAM... I think (as I said this is new to me)
SL is booting, have not used long enough to comment on long term stability.. wanted to get feedback from other folks.
My Xbench scores jumped from
Overall 144.03 -> 164.27
CPU 177.30 -> 214.95
Thread 205.34 -> 300.10
Memory 161.36 -> 178.32
Quartz 225.68 -> 270.25
OpenGL 90.05 -> 109.40
User Interface 286.73 -> 349.85
Disk 77.70 -> 75.06
No change in system temp according to iStat and Temperature Monitor.. but as mentioned before I do not actually believe these work, b/c the temps never change and are the same as reported without OCing.
EDIT: on the temp I installed
http://macbricol.free.fr/coreduotemp/ and then the 32-bit SL version of MSR Tools (
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...80&p=1259137&#) and my temps now do seem to move... again every utility seems to report a DIFFERENT set of temps, but at least now they appear to be move-able. Idling around 37C and peaking around 50C playing Quake 4 with the 5200 at 3.0GHz.
