JeffMD I kinda figured but I was just being hopeful, mmkay? :-)

Oh well . . . what to do with my iPaq 3835? I guess I'll toss it in the trash . . .

EDIT: I just read the thread about the XSCALE's performance in quake.

Sucks real bad.

Glad I didn't pick one up :-)

hehe, you can still sell it for a pretty good price, but if that's too much trouble... just send it to me then
btw. I am definitely not rushing in with buying a new pda this time... gonna bide my time, read some reviews and stuff before I go out and buy a new one

Don't be sucked in by the bullshit above. Yes, it's quite simple to replace an ARM processor with the X-Scale, but the key is using Slot-1 technology and replacing the AC/DC converter with a 1mm finely wound copper wire ARMerture.

I know this to be true because I've been using an X-scale in my Ipaq 3650 for the last year in order to test my new PPC Doom port that offers a special triple-smoothing effect, 3-D graphics (special glasses provided), and support for all Doom-like first-person-shooters including a PPC version of Medal of Honor, Allied Assault. All this to be released this Sunday at 3:05 pm.
