not that I'm aware of. If you can obtain a copy of the schematic of the board design somehow, and figure out if and where the restriction resistor/capacitors are located on the board, I figure you can OC it.
Afterall, people found ways to OC Sawtooth G4s and TI calculators!
G4/450, T-bird 1.05GHz, iBook 500, iBook 233...4 different machines, 4 different OSes...(9, 2k, X.1, YDL2.2 respectively) PiA to maintain...

Lunchbox,

go to http://www.xlr8yourmac.com and browse around, you'll be amazed to what people figure out what to do. With a G4 spec and some stuff on the MOBO, one guy figured out how to increase the core voltage and the clock speed of the Sawtooth G4s. It requires you to be VERY good at electronics, and can solder with literally pin-point accracy, and willing to put your $2k to risk. I might give it a shot when I get my EE BA, but 'til then, no OC Sawtooth for me.
