Posted by Janak Parekh in "ARTICLE" @ 09:00 AM
pt has started a weekly column over at Engadget consisting of straightforward "how-to" instructions to do cool things with a number of different devices. This week, he's written up a short article on overclocking your Pocket PC.
"Okay, we’re moving the "How-to's" to Tuesday, why? To compete with American Idol of course. This week’s how-to is how to overclock your Pocket PC. Why would you want to do this? speeeeed of course, up to 50% faster in some cases, but you can also (in theory) get better battery life and better performance if you underclock your device when you don’t need all the speed and overclock when you do. There are many different tools and articles that really dive in to the specific results on Pocket PC models; we have links to those at the end of this article. This how-to is to just get you up and running quickly, literally."
As always, pt has a very straightforward, engaging style. If you've been interested in overclocking, you might want to give this article a read. Of course, remember that overclocking your Pocket PC is at your own risk; it may void your warranty and may cause damage if you're not careful.
