I don't really know how it works but you can do that with SetCPU. With this app you can change the speed of your processor but it can be a bit dangerous, I think at 1,7 Ghz you can damage the processor, it can resist higher speeds than 1 Ghz but don't push it to the limit or you'll screw it up!

You need an unlocked bootloader and DoomLord kernel

to be able to overclock with SetCPU

also if you have a locked Neo you can unlock the bootloader with this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1254416

I tried DooMLoRD kernel and that worked perfectly
You can overclock at 1.9GHz without warm !

ok thank you very much!
i had my bootloaders unlocked but i relocked them,
i think i can just follow the same procedure to unlock them?
and when you have DooMKernel do you have automatically root?
and will that everything work on 2.3.3 and SE software 4.0.A....
thanks!

Yes that works for the latest stock rom (i've tested). For the root i don't know; i was already rooted when i flashed the kernel.
You don't loose any data

For the bootloader i don't know, try to re-enter the 2 commands with the same unlocking key.

Wow,really up to 1.9 ghz without warm?
Is it possible to set an auto overclock only for gaming?

Yes i think its possible.
You need to set only right profile to setcpu.
For me is SmartassV2 and interactiveX profiles very good perfomance.

When you unlocked your BL, did SE send you an email with the unlocking key ?

Otherwise try to go again to the unlocking bootloader website, with se same IMEI :/

Yes all the data (internal memory) will be losed when unlocking bootloader. If you are rooted you will keep the root permissions

You can backup with Sony ericsson backup and restore (i think that's the best tool for no-rooted phones) or Titanium Backup.

I'm not sure but i think doomkernel includes root, because root is not required to use it. So try to flash it without root.

EDIT : i've just readed "autorooting" in the features

So you can't change the frequency to more than 1Ghz ?! did you follow exactly the instructions ?

Have you got the latest .368 firmware ?
