I think the problem of intending an atom to be powerful by tweaking it is that would break the price and it could scale to be as expensive as a more powerful pc. But looking at the prices of atom boards I don't think that would be much problem.

The question is, if you are going to overclock an atom, you will need premium parts, if the price is going to go up so much that you can afford a more powerful pc, then having an atom is not so good.
