the moment, I don't know the answer to this question. You could overclock the GP32 somewhat, so perhaps you will be able to do the same with the GP2X. Still, the 200 MHz speeds are already faster than an overclocked GP32 by ~40 MHz.

The GP32 has a single processor compared to the dual-processors of the GP2X, both of which are faster than even the most overclocked GP32 by about 40Mhz. Additionally, the GP32 only had 8Mb of RAM at launch and the GP2X has 64Mb plus 64Mb NAND flash memory that can be used as storage. That's not all the storage you can use either. There's more of course but effectively the GP2X is a big leap forward from the GP32.

The short answer is no, the long answer is probably not. I believe that Game Park hold the rights to the GP32 and anyway, the OS on the GP2X is just too different. Linux is a computer operating system and its kernel. It is one of the most prominent examples of free software and of open-source development: unlike proprietary operating systems such as Windows and Mac OS, all of its underlying source code is available to the public and anyone can freely use, modify, and redistribute it."

The GP32 is a really cool predecessor to the GP2X and has been very successful on the homebrew scene. Although it looks like a Nintendo Game Boy Advance, it can do a whole lot more.

The GP2X (or the GP2X-F100 to give it the full product name) is an open, extensible, handheld media player that runs embedded Linux. The GP2X can display images, play videos, run software applications and games and a whole lot more - all in a device that fits in the palm of a suitably sized hand.

This is a question that is better asked by you because of the immense amount of variables that can affect the possible results. Be sure to include as much relevant info about your system as you can provide to make it easier for the members to better answer your question. Not necessarily, no. The clock speed, while it can be used as a general indication of a processor's operating speed, is not what always separates a quick processor from a slow one.

No absolute limit. As stated above, you should try it by yourself and see at what speed it hangs. If it ever hangs... My m505 runs at 54MHz (the highest speed you can set with AfterBurner 3.1) and never crashed. The only problem is that if you overclock too much (even without crashing the Palm) the internal clock could be off.

I am NOT into overclocking....I've stated this on my main page. Yet, many folks are asking me how to overclock their CPU. Maybe some time in the future I'll try it.

The GP32 was only really available in Korea at launch and it took months to get the GP32 into Europe (by which time the GP32 had evolved to the more feature-rich GP32 BLU). There was a lot of confusion surrounding the European launch and despite lots of very developer-friendly features; it was never really noticed by mainstream press / users. Additionally, the GP32 never made it officially to America.

John Carmack, the 3D engine guru behind Doom, Quake, etc., showed up on stage with Steve Jobs during Jobs's keynote address at MacWhirled today, showing off id Software's upcoming Quake III Arena on a Mac equipped with an ATI Rage 128 card. Carmack vowed months ago to treat Apple well if Jobs and co. would incorporate support for the OpenGL 3D API into future Macs. Not coincidentally, Apple announced today that it has licensed OpenGL from SGI.

Yeah, you probably can, but why? OCing a 68030 from 25 to 33MHz isn't going to do a lot of good, and besides, your system bus will probably be all screwed up from it.

noted above, you get dual processors. These run at 200Mhz. Additional storage comes courtesy of SD Cards and there's (un-powered) USB connectivity together with a very popular TV-OUT facility. The GP2X can play videos, music, display images and run software and games of all sorts - commercial or homebrewed. There is an 8 way joystick with 4 action buttons. In addition there are 2 'shoulder buttons' (Start and Select) plus 2 buttons to increase or decrease the volume. There is a 3.

noted, the GP2X is a dual CPU device with both CPUs (an ARM940T and ARM920T) running at 200MHz. Most of the internal components are 'off the shelf' components, which has kept the final price down. For more on the internals, see the capabilities FAQs further down. When I bought my first PC in the late nineties, it was a PII 300MHz with 128Mb of RAM and it cost me £2,400. I know that's not a fair comparison but it sure does show how progress changes things!

NAND (Not- AND Logic) is a particular type of internal flash memory that offered cheaper storage than traditional NOR flash memory. NAND prices have been coming down lately and really driving sales of flash memory equipped devices. Recently, the CEO of Samsung Electronics claimed that NAND flash memory is set to replace hard disk drives. Frankly, I can't wait. NAND memory is hugely popular. Samsung is now producing over 3 Million OneNAND flash memory units a month!

The answer to this is yes and no but only temporarily... As it stands, the GP2X will only support mono playback via the built-in speakers but will play stereo through the headphones jack. A future firmware update will fix the built-in speakers to support stereo playback but to be honest, the built-in speakers are close together than your ears and you are very, very unlikely to notice any difference.

Yes it can! Within the limits of the hardware and the embedded operating system, you can run what you like. Can't find what you're looking for? Well, why not write it yourself? GPH actively want you to develop for the GP2X and if you're idea is good enough, they might even support your development efforts.

Yes, with the use of a TV-OUT cable you can plug the GP2X straight into your TV (assuming your TV supports this!) and play your emulated games, etc. in big screen glory. With reference to questions on playing movies encoded at higher resolutions, the good news is that these will play back on a TV at their full resolution and not the reduced 320 / 240. I don't think the cable is included with the GP2X but it shouldn't cost more than £7-10 ($10).

The GP2X operates on very ordinary AA batteries. This may seem odd but think about it. If your batteries run out, you can pop into a corner shop anywhere and buy yourself some new ones. Closer to home, rechargeable batteries are very affordable. A future device might well have a lithium-ion battery but for now (as long as the claims hold water), AA batteries should do just fine.

So far, GPH haven't developed a PDF reader for the GP2X. However, at least one other community user has developed a PDF reader that uses Poppler and SDL to display PDF documents. You can find out more information on this here. The reader has been tested on the GP2X Developer kit.

Yes. Some games are playable over the internet Citation needed, though I definitely remember there being some

A new version of NVIDIA nTune (v5.05.25.00) that supports Windows Vista is available on Nvidia.com. NVIDIA nTune allows end users to monitor GPU temperatures and overclock their GPU. NVIDIA nTune was recently updated to work with all motherboards, but support for advanced motherboard monitoring and overclocking features are available only for NVIDIA nForce-based motherboards. For more information and to download nTune, please visit this website: http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/ntune_5.05.25.

This depends on what you consider safe. Overclocking is usually safe in that sense that running a chip with a voltage that is inside Absolute Maximum Ratings doesn't break anything even if run at a very high clock speed. However, this is not guaranteed by VLSI Solution. It is also worth noting that while some chips have been known to be overclocked for short periods even to 32 MHz with a digital voltage barely withing Absolute Maximum Ratings, VLSI Solution does qualify the chips only upto 24.

THERE IS NO WAY THAT YOUR PALM CAN OVERHEAT WHEN YOU OVERCLOCK IT. The processor in the Palm consumes so little power that it simply cannot happen, even at the highest speeds. So you cannot damage your Palm by overclocking it. And in order to overclock you do not even have to open your Palm. It can be done with a software utility called "AfterBurner" (version 3.1 or higher, you can find it at PalmGear: http://www.palmgear.com).

Cannot change PCIe bus speed, after changing to anything from Auto the system resets in POST before mem testing. Changing in my mind means ex. 267fsb (stock 266), 265fsb and so on. These are slightly (and more significant) changes which cannot be done. This is not a problem of >450fsb or sth. This is a problem of no o/c at all! This is not a problem of a fsbwall â?" this is not for you if you have already overclocked even a 1Mhz! Your VGA card is probably making MB not to overclock.

Like many industry leaders including Intel, 3dfx Interactive does not support or condone the act of overclocking. Overclocking is a term used to describe the practice of running computer components above the specification set by the manufacturer. 3dfx does extensive speed-bin testing on our chips to determine which clock speed each part will operate consistently and reliably.
