I overclocked my mini from 1.42 to 1.5 and it's stable via Xbench and other GLucas... I'm going to shoot for 1.58 then 1.67 later on but right now this is just fine as its only 3 or 4 days old. Check out my pics... the resistors or 0ohm jumpers were MicroSMD and were way smaller than I had imagined.

ive seen this posted all over mac websites, but never in the hands of what i would deem
to be a 'real' overclocker, I think the PPC G4 chip can go further than apple push it
this should be intresting, i'm looking foward to developments if you can get it over 1.67ghz
which at the moment is the fastest apple run it in any machine i'll be very impressed and be
compelled to run out and buy one :)
well done and good luck, Ed

LOL this is probably the first time I've seen someone o/cing a mini :-P that thing is so tiny.

Go for it, I OC'd a 266 iMAC to 333 once and it was (at the time) the envy of the MAC world....though it was simple enough, it needed some TLC and and some serious cooling.

Hardly worth it except for some laughs and bragging rights. Can you see some visable gains in performance from this?
Alot of times even my overclocks in amd/intel systems were not worth it (no tangible benifit) so I left them stock. After I moved to phase change and a AMD 64 3500 that all changed of course!
