I was talking to t1 earlier today and had a thought although im not sure if this is 100% positive. Would it really matter if chriva really had 3ns ram? The memmory can only go as fast as the bus will carry and im posative that a ppc's bus is not fast enough to run data through the ram at 3ns. And if its not possible then i strongly doubt that 3ns ram would even work in the ipaq. There is a reason 72pin mem is 60ns while 128pin dimms are 7-9ns i think ddr is only 5ns and its bus speed speed smokes that of a ppc.

Okay. I can now say with absolute conviction that Chriva404 is lying. I've spoken with both a Compaq engineer and Mack Baggette from Times2Tech.com, and they both say it is impossible to install 3ns memory into an Ipaq. Even if it were possible to obtain memory that is physically compatible with the Ipaq's architecture, it would still require a rewrite of the bios to change the memory controller settings.

And, with regards to the heatsink, they have both determined that it is non-effective. Firstly, when a program fails to run at 236mhz, there are issues other than the cpu overheating, which stop the program from running. Therefore, even if he were to install a water-cooling system (don't tell me, it's coming next week? ), programs that didn't work previously at 236mhz would still fail to work. Secondly, fins are almost essential to the efficiency of the heatsink, but even if the heat were dispersed away from the cpu, without vents cut into the case of the Ipaq, where would the heat go? Therefore the efficiency of such a heatsink, even if it were installed, would be minimal.

I've always assumed that Chriva404's "upgrade" was fake, but was surprised at all the lengths gone to in an attempt to validate it. However, if he stills wishes to try and prove the success of his upgrade, i would be willing to undertake the 'mini-benchmark' type test, as mentioned in my previous post. My offer of $100 still stands. Hell, i'll even double it!

BTW I've always found it amusing that someone who didn't know a thing about overclocking (or PPCs in general, judging by posts in other threads), suddenly became an expert in the field overnight, and also began issuing advice based on the very documents that i pointed out to him. For even mentioning them in the first place... I have no-one to blame but myself...

So there is no way to make a pocketpc faster than 236? Surely some1 can do it?

The guys at Compaq, HP and Casio can.

well mmm ehhhh he didn't say wich forum but i can ask him


and i am onlu online att mondays tuesdays thuesdays and fredays

[chriva404]

annnnnnd to the fun thing


copar plate = i do not know because it was from a tea can

and mem = the same thing whit them i don't now how much it cost because it was from my pc that i burst int fire (i am a overclk maniac)

[chriva404]

who was that i have 98 emails in my inbox!!!!

[suchiaruzu]

it wasnt me for sure

Sheesh. I used to frequent these boards because they were fun, entertaining and very informative; from the looks of this thread (the first one I've checked for awhile) some of the newer folk can be a little harsh. I think aside from some of the Paul/Moose rivalry in the past, it's the first time I've seen open cursing on this board. We don't need that. Sheesh

Update: I guess only the first page of posts was bad, and considering the circumstances most people would be pretty impatient after being PM'd 100 times about the same thing.

Hope that something cool can come out oif all of this!

The board used to filter profanity, but does not since changing to the phpBB software. That is why you used to not see profanity.
