When the Palm Pre was first released its 500MHz processor was adequate. However, compared to new mobile processors like the 1GHz Snapdragon, 500MHz seems like a snails pace. Luckily, the hacking community has come in and figured out how to overclock the stock Palm Pre/Palm Pre Plus processor to 800MHz. That’s a 300MHz increase, for you math majors out there.

Of course, the modder reports a pretty hefty decrease in battery life in addition to the phone getting quite hot but that’s to be expected.

Get information on how to do this over at PreCentral. But remember, do so at your own risk.
