Is it possible to overclock something as archaic as a Power Macintosh 5400/180? I know this machine ran to 200 anyway, and I assume its the same logic board
I also know I can get an upgrade card, but they're not cheap...

Refusing to resign myself to using an Apple full time - cost so far: �152 for a new hard disk for my Vaio, �10 for new IDE cables for my desktop.

If you look around you can find the 400 1M Sonnet upgrade for $99. It's well worth the investment. The 5400 can use just about any IDE hard drive, and the PCI slot supports a USB or Firewire card (or a combo, I guess). The 136M RAM limitation is a drawback, but they make great fileservers and remote backup machines.

This site is pretty good for 5x and 6x series Performas, I had it bookmarked back when I had my 6400, it always came in handy.
edit: Looks like you can get your 5400 up to 240MHz by tweaking the jumpers.

It'll be much easier if you just comply.

Thanks. Now, to find my spare logic board.... I'm not the best with a soldering iron and still use the 5400 a fair bit so I'd prefer not to murder it.
