On Monday we had the pleasure of
looking at the MSI Wind U100 series netbook. After publishing the article it came to our attention that we missed one of the key features of this notebook, which is the built in overclocking feature. It turns out that way back in November 2008, MSI released BIOS version 1.09, which included overclocking features in the BIOS for the Wind U100 netbook series. Once this feature is enabled in the BIOS you can select a CPU overclock of either 8%, 15% or 24%, for a maximum overclock of 2GHz. Once the overclock setting is enabled and percentage picked, you load the operating system like normal. When you are ready for a little more processor power you just need to press Fn+F10, and 'Turbo' mode will be enabled. This automated processor overclocking will obviously breathe new life into the 1.6GHz Atom N270 processor and will have a significant impact on performance.
