It is not much faster, but battery life penalty is neglidgable and you know the feeling when after you change the oil, car seems to run better? This what I feel now with overclocked L110! Still, would be nice to go faster, but nobody seems to know about bus speed hack and I am somewhat reluctant to experiment because parts inside are so small, they are almost impossible to solder. > Best bet however for those wanting a bit more umpf from their L110s? > > 1) max ram to 64MB.

Well, I am running Win XP for the following reasons: 1 Clear type fonts- looks so much better on LCD, you wouldn't want to go back! 2 Built-in CPU idling- very important for overclocked CPU 3 No problems with standby or hibernation 4 Hardware support- recognized everything I have, including old IBM PCMCIA CD-ROM 5 Reasonably fast if you remove some niceties from the GUI. 6 More and better features than 98 > 4) Windows 98SE or lower. Anything higher will kill system performance. > Turn off 'display icons in all colors', use 16-bit display mode, turn off > animated menus, turn the background to pure black, etc. will keep the OS > running as quickly as possible w/o lagging due to silly shadows and animations. > 98lite.net if needed to squeeze out extra performance. Why black background? I think any color will do just fine as long as you don't use a BMP file. ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
