No there are no processor upgrades or accelerators for the Clamshell
iBooks. I have seen sites that do show how to overclock them which
looks pretty simple to do (if you can solder on a logic board) but you
have to take it all apart. Hard drive also entails a fair amount of
disassembly but people do it, and there are a couple companies that
will also replace it for you. Other then that there are no other
upgrades outside of memory (adding 512meg) or airport. You can add a
external hard drive (usb) or burner but early Clamshells do not have a
video that supports dvd.
