I'm thinking about a gp2x for chirstmas. However, only now idd i notice there is 2 versions of it. the 240 mhz and the 275mhz.
I'll be mostly using it for emulators. Should I chip in an extra 30$ US (and I live in Canada, so it's more) for the slight gain (13%) in speed? Is it not worth it?
Can it be easily overclocked?

Put down the extra cash for the faster model. You know it runs at that speed, it's stable, and when you think about it $30 isn't all that big a deal. (Slightly over $26 USD)
Jeez some of you guys sound like you'll buy the slower version of anything and overclock it just to save a couple bucks.

It's 30 US. which is more like 34 Canadian. Plus I have to buy it. And I don't have a job.
But yeah, sounds like I'll chip in the extra amount. I'll probably be getting money for Christmas, since there's nothing I really want. Except to get into University, but Ican't get that for Christmas, now, can I?
Perhaps I'll convert religions so I'll be able to collect presents and such from ALL the holidays this season!
With the faster version, do you still need to overclock it? Or is it pre-overclocked? Also, does overclocking require only software, like a computer overclock, or hardware, like a GBO overclock. (I'm assuming since it runs linux, it'll be an easy software OC.)

XGP is most likely vaporware. Don't think its ever coming out.
And the GP2x overclocks with the program you are using. You can use an alternate frontend like GMenu2x and it will overclock each program at the desird overclocking value when you launch them. And it looks better than the original GP2x frontend.
