Hi all
        Thought I'd just pass this along. I have just finished the iBook
Overclocking I found Here:

This works VERY well, but it's more of a problem getting the case apart,
than to fire the Solder Station up.. I know this is way "OFF-Topic" But
I have to tell Someone! I got the Processor running at 598.6Mhz, and the
Bus speed from 66Mhz, to 99.2Mhz.. I see such a big difference that all
the work was worth it. So if you have a iBook, you might look into
this.. There is also an article in MacAddict, March 2002 (no.67) issue,
in the How To Section. The magazine also has a Hard-drive and ram
upgrade with the same article.. I'm running 384Meg of RAM on this
machine, but have a 512Meg Chip comming tomorrow, at this point it will
have 640Meg.. WOW! A iBook with G3/600, 640Meg, (only) 10Gig HD... all
for the used cost of $700.00... Sorry about the OT, but Again, I have to
tell someone, and TAG your IT!.. ( Whatever IT is?)....Jeff-N8NOE
Looks like all the Radio Kits and repairs have now paid for itself...
