Ok, I got a 600 MHz iMac that I want to overclock - now, I have a few questions.



How far can I overclock it safely?



How much more heat will it produce (it already makes my room very hot already)?



Is it worth it?



Thanks in advance!

    I'm not sure whether you've found the following articles:

    On the iMac, you have to add or remove resisters on the logic board, I don't think it can be performed through software or firmware.
