ZDNet Clock: Overclock your new Mac Pro!

[WrigleyVillain]

My girlfriend found this, isn't she awesome? :D A Clockgen-like util for the latest Mac Pros. Apparently it can take the 2.8Ghz Mac Pros to 3.24 stable (doesn't require extra voltage). On one of those machine now but presently booted in Vista and busy so I havent tested it myself yet. Thought this was worth posting already anyway... :up:

Nice find, wonder if there is a way to run it in a windows environment.

Been doing this for years with clockgen and systool already though..

I overclocked my 2.8 Mac Pro to 3.2 stable using clockgen, and it got me a few gold cups, and a bunch of points.. hehehe

This is a awesome app for in OS X though... NICE FIND!
