I end up removing the overclock software I'm sad to say. it might be that I'm just being ignorant and if I research it a lil more I could find settings that work. basically what happened is it was okay for a week then a lot more sod. like once I got it, rebooted, and got another one right away. this was at 628 or so. was getting about 5 a day. at 604 I got another and said screw it, not worth it anymore. I won't say I never got sod before this, but it was getting ridiculous. on top of that I'd get an error on boot after, but not consistently. it couldn't start the setcpuspeed process. probably I could fix that with the setting mentioned above to delay when it kicks in. probably also I could install oct or play with settings other than clock speed to prevent sod. but I can't find the energy. I've come to accept the windows mobile experience means rebooting every day several times, if nothing else to free up useless trapped memory. I'm thinking android next phone. sort to rant on.
oh, just so this post isn't totally useless, to the poster above: yah that's normal, the overclock speed is set in the registry with that performance setting. the registry setting overrides the slider.
