at last a Good News.. Read some where that froyo 2.2.1 (stable) will be available for N900 before 25th Dec (chrismis)... And Ginger before 31st Dec.. (NY)

This is not garanteed this is just what he is trying to achive
For what it's worth, as a Motorola Droid owner (running 2.2.1 right now),a device that was released at 450MHz and newer stock kernels ramped up to 600MHz, with kernels to safely ramp it up as fast as 800MHz with a CPU governor (i.e. not much faster than the stock N900)...
There's already a community-compiled test copy of the Gingerbread ROM floating around for the Motorola Droid. It's unclear whether it's going to get pushed officially--probably not, but from what I've read, it seems that the CPU speed is definitely not an issue. More impressive to me is that reports are that 2.3 runs even FASTER than 2.2 on the Droid.
If this is accurate and Nitdroid gets 2.3, I can only imagine that the performance (overall) would only INCREASE at 600MHz, not suffer.
No, that's 3.0. Gingerbread was supposed to be 3.0 but Google decided to postpone it to the Honeycomb release. 3.0 will have 1 GHz CPU requirement, because it will have a graphically intensive UI.(2.3 is not that different that 2.2)
Froyo is slow on Arm11 architectures (HTC Wildfire, etc) NOT on Arm Cortex A8 or similar (Hummingbird, Snapdragon etc). The N900 CPU at 600 MHz is a lot faster than any Arm11 CPU (like HTC wildfire, SE x10 mini, HTC legend, Hero) no matter what MHz their CPU runs at. It's like comparing Pentium (the original) with a Core2.
Please not exagerate.
Cortex A8 is faster than Arm11 but not always many times faster.
ARM declares it as near to 40-60% faster than Arm11 at same clock (so a Cortex A8 at 600MHz is like an Arm11 at 1.0GHz).
In some areas Cortex A8 can be even more faster than Arm11 if software uses widely some specific functions (NEON isa, double speed cache, double width bus, ...etc) that Cortex A8 has and Arm11 hasn't (or Arm11 has less efficient one)
This thread went from awesome to suck to awesome in the last 30 posts. I'm glad it turned around.
I was starting to become discouraged because there have been no updates that I could see since like September or maybe before. It's good to see that it's still going.
