Another Question

[The Master]

Is 270mhz guaranteed overclock considered good? (this is after over 20 tests...)
How many of you actually got to 340? Is it possible?

 

[krosfyah]

340 is highly unlikely. Not many MkII units reach 300.

Anything over 250 is good really.

 

[Blah]

Mine does 240 and not a hertz more. But I'm satisfied.

My MK1 gets to 280 stable, and could go further - but I haven't found the need.

 

[k3nn]

The highest I can go is 245. And it sucks --- for me anyway, because I want to play GBA and SNES and DOS games as smoothly and nicely as possible. People with units that clock to 300MHz make me ANGRY.

If I were buying now, I'd definitely go for a 270MHz one - especially since the alternative (if you buy from gbax, anyway) is to get one with a guaranteed-crap overclocking ability.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and Quake.

Nothing needs really over 240 overclock: GBA will eventually be fullspeed, SNES is already very fast without overclock (with it it's blazing), and everything else only needs slight overclock for fullspeed, if they need overclock at all. DOS is too hard to emulate to begin with anyway...

Mine can go to about 260, but the highest I've ever needed to overclock was 250.

like i was told (if your in the us)
go for play-asia theyre clock speeds are random

Thanks guys, looks like I was lucky.

I'm in Poland, but got mine from Play-Asia.com, and it seems after many tests it goes to 285.

Much cheaper (even with import tax) than any European equivalent so far.

Very happy customer. And they put some crackle-candy in the box! Fantastic, not seen that since I was, like, 8 years old

I def. appreciated the candy that came with my GP2X when I ordered from Playasia.com, I haven't eaten it, but it was still a very nice touch

I haven't tried mine passed 270. At that point the batteries start to scream! I don't have the heart to push it any more that that. :blink: I usually back off.

My old MKI was stable at 305. My MKII only goes to 240

I ate mine!! It was 'Strawberry ... my favorite kind!' (Anyone know the reference? )

BOT: Mine goes to 266. I use that speed when I play GBA games
