Overclocked units sold at craigix's website are now tested to run stable at 270mhz, down from 275mhz. I was going to order a 275 next week and really looking forward to it and now not so sure , any reasons for this?
Is anything over 266mhz really practical with batteries?
This was bound to happen wasn't it, I just find it sad that you edited the October 8th news post to say 270, but left the '27x-VERSION' there. You overcharge people for cherry-picked GP2X's, that's just plain bullocks.
While your statement that Quake and NeoGeo emulation are 'fine' at 200 MHz (neogeo emulation of most games with audio above 11025hz [22050hz is really the minimum to sound decent, it is the native sound samplerate] will stutter heavily at 200 MHz, and Quake is close to a slideshow at that speed, or any speed below ~266 MHz), I will fully agree the process of arbitrarily marking up the price on generic GP2X units is wholly deplorable.. it is causing an incredible amount of confusion because the marketing is so deceptive. These are the same GP2X units you could buy for cheaper months ago, but now if you don't pay extra, you get a unit guaranteed to overclock worth jack. Bravo...No it is definitely not. The whole 275mhz is a load of shit, everything runs just fine at 200-260mhz, even NeoGeo and Quake.

Wow, there's such a demand for GP2X units OCing to 275+ MHz? Better get on with ebaying my first edition (stable at 280 MHz) then
