Peak-load overclocking a Pogoplug (no replies)

Though I'm not sure of the ways of Pogoplug memory management, but in the area of splitting hairs avoiding swap file use it would seem logical to get the processing over so RAM is finished with the operation. In windows you'd also need to kick DLLs out of memory and it could cause instability.

I remember lately someone mentioning you could clock the Pogoplugs higher, and I completely avoided it because there's no need to have more heat 24/7. But if it's like stepping, where it could go 10-20%, that could be a nice little boost.

-update- This is CRAZY! I'm posting this update using Midori browser within Pogoplug! Before this, when i first typed up above there, the RAM use was real low, and with Remote Desktop of course the RAM is used up. I'm not griping; that's the ways of RAM. I was about to copy paste the result running free but it's not pasting. Suffice to say it's out of RAM and 47056 into Swap. So, I doubt more processing would have changed anything there.

And please let me ramble even more off topic. We got my Debian on USB stick with goodies and life's great right? THEN a little while ago I coped the USB Debian partition to an old SATA drive. Hooked SATA cable. It wouldn't boot, and then I plugged in the USB Debian. It booted to the SATA drive! I heard the crackle of SATA doing something and unplugged the USB plug. Yes, it's running SATA right now. In-sane. Double it'll reboot but will try it now.

Wow, cray cray. So the moral of the story is, you get what you pay for, and I paid 3 x as much since foregoing the rebate :-p
