1.25GHz? WOW!!! It would make more sense, though, for HW to use
the cooler, smaller, and (I think) cheaper 624MHz duel core. My
friend and I just had a debate over the duel cores vs. the higher
MHz and low GHz processors, and he won. I guess it is all a mute
point, though, since the user cannot do anything and by the time
HW releases a new motherboard for the mPower, there will probably
be some huge advance in microprocessors and we will have some
1.8GHz quad core thing. Don't I wish!
Have a great day,
Alex

Alex,
Probably HumanWare can, but it depends on the power supply. If a
new version
of BN hardware comes out, then it might have Intel Xscale PXA29x
clocked
(running) at 1.25 GHz, with the RAM between 64 and 128 MB.

Subject: [Braillenote] Random Question: replacing processor?
Hi all, especially you techies:
Here is a random question: what happens if you void all
warranties and
disassemble an mPower (stop shuddering, it is just hypothetical).
Once
inside, what would CE and/or KS do if you replaced the current
416 XScale
processor with a new processor, such as a dual core 624? What
about the RAM?
Would the CE version update itself or would it fry? Would the
voltage be
correct? So many questions... But basically, could the BN accept
a
higher-running processor or other hardware? I do NOT plan on
trying this,
but if some new BN comes out and I have it and a
(then) old mPower, I might be tempted...
Have a great day,
Alex
