Overclock N95?

[Javawag]

Hi

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, its a hardware change that would be probably brought about by software... move it as you will XD

Is there any way to overclock the N95's processor? Officially, the specs state the processor is 330MHz but nsysinfo says its only 206.438MHz. Has nokia underclocked it to save power, lied, or has nsysinfo detected it wrong (could be the latter as apparently on my 4GB MicroSD I have -1,230,393,344Bytes out of a total of -231,825,408Bytes (yes, MINUS))

Any ideas/thoughts?

Without hacking the firmware, I suspect the answer is no to overclocking

Awwww ****. Maybe Nokia will allow it to go up to the full 330MHz when they release the new N-gage service, so the games run better?

nsysinfo is reporting on the wrong processor. i believe there ia s graphics processor 206 mhz as well as the main cpu 330mhz

According to Wikipedia, the config the N95 uses is as follows:

Texas Instruments OMAP2420: 330 MHz ARM11 Main Processor + 220 MHz C55x Digital Signal Processor + PowerVR MBX 2D/3D Graphics Accelerator + IVA

God knows what the IVA is! (other than the Spanish abbreviation for VAT XD). But yes, it could well be the DSP that nsysinfo is reporting on then. Thanks!

battery life is pathetic as-it-is! why would you wanna do this?

great info

Nice.. Is There A Way To Hack The Ram? Cos N95-1 Is Pathetically Low In Ram And Always Restart And Freeze Most Of The Time When U Used Up The Free Ram

Just looked IVA up and got this;

"OMAP 2 processors feature a graphics accelerator for 3D, an imaging video accelerator (IVA) for high-quality cut-scene and other video processing tasks, a high-performance DSP for audio processing, and an ARM 11 with attached vector floating point (VFP) processor for game physics, networking and AI."

For a possible RAM hack, see the link in my post in the memory leak thread. (Its broke).

Because overclocking is the step that comes before on-demand clock speeds.
