How To Overclock (Kill) Your Motorola Droid
By Brady on Jan 27, 2010 with 3
Is your Motorola Droid running a little slow? Does it need a little pick me up? Then feel free to clock your Droid up to 1.1GHz.
The guys at AllDroid have come up with a way to over-clock the Droid’s ARM Cortex A8 from 550MHz to 1.1GHz . That’s quite an impressive jump! While I’m sure this will greatly speed up your phone, I would imagine it would only speed it up for so long (until your processor burns up). Something about over-clocking a processor at twice the speed it was manufactured for, inside a small area, with no cooling, doesn’t seem like the smartest idea.
However, if you are a risk-taker or rich and have Droids laying around you can find the How-To here .
The AllDroid guys seem to think that 800MHz is a safe speed for your processor, but again do this at your own risk!

I overclocked my droid to 1 GHz and it was the best thing I’ve ever done… my phone now runs smooth, with no lag, no matter what
Thanx for the heads up dude. Currently on the rampage for info like this. James
