Once you root the device, you can overclock it to up to 1.2 GhZ, supposedly stable. Mine runs at 900 MhZ stable, so..it's possible. Battery life is pretty shit though.

At 1 ghz it is basically on par with a snapdragon. At 1.2 it is faster

I have mine set at 1.2GHz and I get a day and a half out of it. Phone works flawless and I have no issues with it at all!!!

im planning on buying a used motorola milestone and the guy says its already rooted is there a way to check if the phones working properly? and if i buy it and its not working properly is there a way to set it back to origional factory settings?

Hey,I noticed,that the phone's (Motorola Milestone's) back gets real warmed up when playing games,browsing web etc. Is that because of its processor.

I think its 550 mHz ARM processor works real good btw.

Yes. You can always unroot it and underclock it to the way it was (550Mhz). It's pretty simple.
