Only the BeagleBone is limited to 550MHZ on USB. Our standard BBB image runs at 1GHz on USB.

Re: [beagleboard] Setting the CPU speed.
Honestly unless you have a specific reason I think the default ( ondemand ) governor is probably the best. While idle for me the CPU has always been 300Mhz, and with a heavy load ( over 60% load ) the CPU goes up to 1Ghz.
