Welcome.
If you're wondering where to get kernels, to overclock, then there are a couple options. I know that Chevy's are on the ROM Manager and there's a page, but I don't have the link. P3 is another and you can find them HERE. There may be others but that's all that I've tried.

To apply the P3 kernels, download them and then copy to the root of your sdcard. Rename to update.zip and install either through recovery, installing "update.zip" or if you're going through ROM Manager, then choose Install ROM from sdcard and select the update.zip.

Hope that makes sense.
 
I have a noob question. I just rooted my stock 2.1 - everything went great and now I want to overclock to get a little more punch out of it. I remember when rooting that I had to copy a file update.zip to the sdcard - I never deleted it - should the kernal that I rename to update.zip over-write this file? Should I delete the old one off first?
 
I always delete the update.zip file with astro or ex file explorer, the latter being my favorite, as soon as I'm finished with the update. Leaving to confusion in the future. In fact I usually copy a file to my sd card, verify its the correct one, and then rename it to update.
I have already overclocked my phone to 1g, and plan to go more today.
 
Thanks Cooly!
So I can just connect the droid to the computer - delete the old update.zip off the SD card and copy the new one on.
 
I think so, its probably most important to more up a little at a time, test by playing a game or movie, then quickly check temp. Do the stress test for 10 minutes, if no errors and temp is not real high, move up the clock.
 
so start at like 600 then move up through the speeds?
I am also downloading SetCPU.
So the process should be install the kernal - go to SetCPU and set the speed to 600 - play around with the phone for about 10 mins then up the speed if there aren't any issues?
BTW - thanks a lot for your quick and helpful responses - I don't mean to hog your time.
 
Right now SetCPU is not authorizing nor downloading for me on my phone - so I'll have to wait to do this....
I saw on P3's website that the kernal also allows for wi fi tethering if you download the program from the site - have you done this too?
 
Your phone must be rooted before SETCPU will install.
I've used PdaNet to tether, great program. Haven't tried anything else yet.
 
Phone is rooted - but the program won't download from the market - probably a crappy 3G reception....just hangs on "authorizing purchase..."
PDAnet - that would allow me to access the internet on an Ipod Touch that is next to my Android phone? My wife will flip.
