[Ti] Merits of Ti 400 Mhz

[Dave Friesen]

One other advantage to the 400 is that if you don't mind decimating the warranty (or wait until it expires) you can bump it to 500Mhz. Sure it involve tampering with your motherboard but life's full of risks, ain't it? :-)

I've done that to my 400 and with a bigger HD and 1 gig o' RAM I'm perfectly happy with it running 10.2.4
