    One question---WHY? WHY risk ruining a perfectly good system for NO possible advantage? Its not like there are N64 games out there requiring a faster CPU.

    Here's the same guy at home:

    "Hey everybody--I threw a brick through my living room window! It lets in a nice cool breeze, especially in the winter. Sure, somebody can come in and steal my overclocked N64 (because there's a big gaping hole in my window), but its worth the risk."

    overclocking a N64 won't help games run faster. If anything it will just cause them to lock up. The only console that could use a speed up would be DC for playing SNES..
