Do I need to overclock it beyond the specs, or this require a x86?

Just compile the emulator for PowerPC and you'll be able to cook Thanksgiving Dinner.

You could also try compiling it on a "Prescott" Pentium 4 for extra flavor.

Surely, you're yolking. The 6502 barely gets above room temperature. It's the VIC and SID chips that used to get so hot on vintage machines.....

To heck with the eggs, I want to know how fast it'll crank out work units for Folding@Home!
