Results thus far:  OC'd the cellie to 800mhz, tried to go higher but it
wouldn't even boot.  Seems very stable @800.  Went from 94.4fps to
115fps on demo1 (800x600) and from 1300ish to 1650 on 3dMark2000.
System runs slightly warmer than before after an hour or so of dm (44c
vs 40c before OC).  So far so good.....
