Where does it say that the Asus' "Turbo" mode means that it's overclocked?! Show me! I'm sick of all you munchers trying to put down the Asus with your little ignorant propaganda. The Asus in Turbo mode beats the H2215 overclocked to 472MHz! The Asus in Normal mode beats the H2215 unoverclocked. Figure it out, panzy.

[edit] EXACTLY, Thank you Anon (which I'm assuming is Matt not logged in).

I guess you didn't read the review:

"One cool feature that asus included with the device, is the option to change what mode the unit is running in. The options include: Turbo Mode, Standard Mode, Power Saving Mode, and Automatic Mode. The turbo mode will overclock the device, and it manages to squeeze out a couple more FPS in games/video. I found that there was a very noticable difference between turbo mode, and standard mode while playing SNES. Power saving mode does just the opposite of turbo of course, underclocking the device to get better battery life at the cost of performance. "

He says right there that the turbo mode overclock's the device.
Ok well if your telling me it isn't overclocking then what is it doing?
Normal mode is 400mhz , so turbo is yet still the same speed and getting much faster speed?

The a620 in turbo vs the 2215 overclocked is still faster, yes, but it's a MUCH smaller difference in speed. It's just plain stupid to compaire an overclocked a620 to a 2215 at normal speed.
And the a620 is not the fastest ppc , the mio 558 is. It smokes the a620 when they are both at the normal 400mhz. It also smokes the a620 in turbo when its overclocked.

From the A620 manual:
"The Turbo Mode allows better CPU performance. In this mode, the CPU speed goes up to 400 mhz."
Standard is 300 mhz. Power saving mode is 200 mhz. To overclock the A620, you need pocket hack master, which works very nicely.

EVERYONE:

The A620 is not overclocked from the factory. TURBO mode is just an optimized mode for power. I don't know why Asus can do it and HP or anyone else can't, but they've been doing it in their notebooks and motherboards for years.

I did recieve a picture of a manual that I couldn't understand, but it did show a picture above "turbo" mode..... The don't want US resellers showing the simple overclock feature which can be done right out of the box.
