Now for the surprise. If you own an Asus Eee PC 900 or higher, you can overclock the Intel Atom N270 for a performance boost. and download the latest version of Eeectl (23 kb), which is a nifty utility to overclock the Eee PC on the fly. It also allows you to control the fan speed and screen backlight. Extract the contents of the archive into a folder but don't run the utility yet. Eeectl loads the parameters from the file called eeectl.lni which is located in the same folder. Open it and scroll down to the section called Speed. Profiles and replace it with the folloWing text:

Name: Overclocking the Eee PC.jpg Views: 602 Size: 47.7 KB

Speed.Profiles = 54,188,1,2000 MHz; Speed.StepDelay = 500 Speed.FSBlconMul = 1

Save the file and run Eeectl. It will show up as an icon in the system tray. Before hitting 2.0 GHz, set the fan speed to 100 percent in order to prevent the netbook from heating up. You can access the functions by right clicking on the Eeectl icon. Use CPU-Z to check if the processor is running at 2 GHz.
