Anyone have any idea how fast those 333 CPUs can be overclocked? An extra 33MHz ain't gonna do it, but if they'll go to 400 or better that'd surely be worth trying. Heh heh, if I can land one cheap enough that is. I also asked about VLC tweeks . . .

Ah, thanks Jon, but as chris pointed out $280 can buy lots of cool stuff including most of a miniMac. I'm determined however not to sink much more $$$ into this iMac.
