I've been very interested in overclocking my dual usb ibook/500/66. the standard overclock seems to be from 500/66 to 600/100. Now, the bus overclock seems to be a lot easier than the clock speed. Is there a (simpler) way to JUST overclock the bus to 100 and leave the clock speed alone? Would this require any real less work (read: taking apart) of my iBook?

I'm not so worried about the soldering -- I'm good at that. I'm more worried everything won't quite fit together when I try to reassemble it. Are the pieces hard to fit back together? Anyone have any tips? Stories?

Thanks for your time.

It requires you to open it up if you want to overclock the bus.
