Dear techie: is it possible to upgrade proccesor?

[GadiShoshani]

I thought about those 2 free ram slots..
and i even found a distributer of "infineon" near me !
i think i'll take my JJ to some 1 to solder it,

and another Q is:
is it possible to buy a faster intel proccesor and replace the existing one?
will there be any problems with that?

About RAM:
If you buy the same specification ram and have a company microsolder them into your device, great! It should be fairly straightforward. Please take measurements of your device's performance, battery life, observations, and system info before and after updating and post back to let us all know how it goes.

About Processor:
Windows Mobile 5 seems to be built to automagically recognise the parameters of the Intel XScale CPU in it, meaning that switching the CPU to another of the same family should not cause problems. Replacing it would be an impressive feat to accomplish physically, so again get back to us all on this. You could get up to 800Mhz! Check out Intel's Xscale roadmap at http://download.intel.com/design/emb...s/30610501.pdf

Pocket Hack Master is a utility which allows users to overclock their HTC Universal; see http://forum.xda-developers.com/view...ight=overclock

My personal observation:
I'd be reluctant to try microsoldring surface-mount ram chips to my new Universal (has to be done professionally). My 64MB work fine, not to mention another two chips would potentially add 1.4watts (0.7watts each) of battery drain and heat power dissipation to my device. I've only got 1600mAh and tend to travel (no-recharge).

I urge other users to mod their devices in the pursuit of science and performance; both truely noble causes. Example, more ram would ease the running of Linux on this device. Please continue working towards a Linux port for Windows Mobile devices!

is it possible to buy a better battery?

or is the one that comed with it - "standard" and unchangeable?

10x,

P.S-

Which proccessor would you reccomend on that will not drain my batt?
(please specify exact model so i'll know what to ask for)

as for Ram: Is it possible to replace to existing ram with a higher one?
or just upgrading by adding 2 more (exactly the same) ram chips? if it id indeed possible -
again, please write me what model do i need (that would drain my batt life).

some 1 who works with intel,

asked him the question and he says - right now 520 MHZ is fastests,
(it also says it here)

and soon will come out a new proccessor but even then, you wont be able to just do a simple switch between them.
it'll have to be acompanied by a software update ect....
:cry:

but hey, i wont mind updating just my ram :lol:
