HTC Overclocking Problems

Hi there, I currently have the GSM HTC Touch, and recently installed BatteryStatus v1.04.203, works great and dandy, like the idea of how I know everything going on in the phone. Sadly, the overclocking is seemingly a problem, I set the OMAP overclock to 234 MHz and it works fine, but in TCPMP it shows up as 204MHz, whereas when I'm at 201MHz it shows to be 175MHz. Weird?
Secondly when I overclock to 247 MHz it freezes and I have to soft reset. I keep hearing people saying they can overclock to 247+ MHz no problem so I'm confused. Any ideas? Please and thank you ahead of time.

Side note I'm running OS Version 5.02, and an ARM 926E processor

Don't worry about what TCPMP says as that happens for everyone.

As for the clock speed, it varies between people. For example the type of ROM you are running as well as what you have installed. Some things just aren't friendly to a higher overclock. Did you check xda-developers.com to see what other people said?

Like overclocking a PC, results do vary since chips production qualities vary and the conditions of the overclocking. Also to more stuff u run at the OC setting, the more juice the chip wants to keep up with the enhanced bandwidth so when OCing its best to keep the processes down to a minamun since voltage you have no control of.

If I'm going to run a program that normally runs laggish, I OC to 260 and have no problems at all.
I do revert back to orrig. clock speed when I dont need it though.
Battery status is a real leaky program, so I only use it when I need it or if I'm running on AC power.
