As if the Hummingbird processor – clocked at 1GHz – inside Samsung’s Galaxy S series (Vibrant, Captivate, Fascinate, Epic) wasn’t fast enough, hackers have overclocked the Captivate CPU up to 1.2GHz (phone now $49.99 at Amazon!). What’s more, the hackers who made this happen are looking forward to bumping the clock speed up to 1.6GHz and are expecting smooth, stable sailing at those speeds.

If you’re interested in trying this hack out, do so at your own risk.

I don’t know but I’ve been told that 1.6 + 2.2 makes Galaxy S’s mighty bold. (Sorry about that.)
