No more lag!

Finally we have an option to upgrade our sluggish RK3188 limited by the 1gb of ram.


The following seller has the chip to upgrade from PX3 to PX5 for $40:

i don't think they are selling the board.. this just an upgrade for the purchace.. e.g you can buy an MTCD with $XXX, but you can pay $40 more and get a 2GB MTCD unit..

i ordered one piece. First the seller didn't want to send it. he said that it was an upgrade and is not being sold separtly. After the mail conversation the seller changed the discription.

So this is just an optional purchase when purchasing a full HU from them?

It may be possible to ask the seller to sell it to you anyway while understanding the risk that it may not be compatible with your specific RK3188 board. I am guessing the seller is afraid that you buy it, then return because it didn't work.

Looking strictly at the specifications, there should not be any reason that the PX5 chip is selectively uncompatible with PX3 Rk3188. I have tested swapping the PX5 chip with a MTCD RK3188 for my friend and there were no problems- took less than 5 minutes to do...
