Its possible today to overclock the Nokia N900 whit 5 options of Kernel: 600mhz, 700mhz, 750mhz, 800mhz e 900mhz. Its also possible to achieve over 1000 Mhz but for security reasons i only will explain how to go until 900 Mhz.
64 bits versions of Windows are not suported.
To Overclock the N900 just follow EXACTLY the next steps:
1- Download and install on the PC the Maemo Flasher HERE;
2- Download the modified Kernel HERE, and unzip it to inside “
3-Turn off the N900;
4-Press the "u" key and let it pressed while you conect the USB cable;
5- After the N900 screen Shows the Nokia logo and the usb symbol in the right corner you can release the "u" key;
6- Start the Maemo flasher 3.5 in the PC;
7- Write the comand flasher-3.5.exe -k zImage-XXXmhz -f -R (where the XXX its the number of the frequency you want to overclock, ex. 600, 700, 800 or 900);
8- Wait for the actualization be complete.
You can check the overclock whit Conky program available in the repository extras-devel.
In case you want to recover the original kernel just follow the tuturial from the begining and choose the 600 Mhz kernel.
Warning: Overclocking your Cpu can result in the decrease of the lifetime of the processor or damage. I take not responsability for the bad result of overclocking.

ADMIN: hello truce. the flasher only works on 32 bit versions of windows. which version are you using?
ResponderEliminarso the flasher only works on 32 bit okay...by the way is it safe overclocking n900 and have you tried it?
ResponderEliminarADMIN: like every overclok, there is a little risc associated. But yes its safe, and yes of course i,ve tryed. even the 900 mhz its a safe speed to overclock. its even possible to overclock to 1100 mhz but that i wouldnt recomend. dont forget that overclocking the cpu reduces the lifime of it. even so, not as much as you could notice. if you do so, just follow the exact steps of this tutorial and im shure you will be fine.
