I believe it requires the power-management chip to operate, and
utilises its capabilities. Since the non-xM version wouldn't report
such capability, it shouldn't use it, so I wouldn't expect any
problems.
One of the reasons that this has taken a while is that it is
implemented "properly" using the power management chip, rather than as
a "just run the CPU at 1Ghz" bodge.
However, I should stress that we don't have a non-xM board here to
test on, so I cannot make any guarantees. We're continuing to make OS
update 3 available for those cautious about moving to OS update 4, as
OS update 3 is a "long term support" version, to borrow from Ubuntu's
parlance. Since non-xM users can't benefit from 1Ghz, they may wish
to stay on OS3.
Note that all ARMini customers can benefit from the 1Ghz speed.
