Just like in any other Mac with 744x CPU, the speed is controlled by the jumpers.

Speed R362 R358 R355 R351
1.25GHz yes yes yes -
1.42GHz - yes - yes
1.50GHz - - - -
1.58GHz - yes - -



I have settled on 1.42GHz speed for my original 1.25GHz Mac mini. 1.5GHz settings gave me some glitches in Xbench Altivec routines and very weird behaviour at 1.58GHz - the speed was reported by the system profiler as 750MHz(?!) I would guess 1.42GHz mini owners may be able to get 1.5GHz if they bother to try. Mind you it is only 6% increase so I am not sure if it is worth it. Well, at least I have 1.42GHz now and it works fine.
