Mac Overclocking...? (just an idea)

[hm_murdock]

Is it the original Apple OEM install?

if so, just bust you discs out and do an "Archive and Install"... do not save user settings.

That'll wipe out OS X and any bad settings, but save all your data and apps

Your previous Home folder will be in
/Previous Systems/Home/

I looked around a bit, and if you're interested in technically nerdy stuff (who isn't?) you can get some good information about using open-firmware from kernelthread.com and the NetBSD website. Good places to look would be the device tree, but I wonder what to do after that....

I'd suggest permissions repair with disk utility.  Then reboot holding the S key, and at the UNIX prompt type:  
fsck -y -f

And do it over and over until it says no problems found.

Viola, disk errors repaired, permissions repaired, no more problems.  Hopefully.

Nah, I got bad clusters on my Linux router machine once. You can run fsck all you want, some files are just plain gone

Hey, IKEA, in case you come back...download this app:

http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/xupport.html

Has some nice stuff to configure/maintain OS X.
