If I could get it running on my unit, I could tell you but since it crashes my NR even without being activated, I couldn't tell you. I have heard of people having success running it in the 80 to 88 Mhz range, but no personal experience. I personally think it's my NR and not a wide spread problem, but you should try the demo first before you commit.

I'ved used it for months now without problems. I try to limit what apps I use it on so that overall stability will be better. I don't see the point in overclocking and ebook reader, but its worth it gain a few seconds opening a picture in Acid Image. I've been able to run everything that I overclock @ 99mhz. Hope that helps.

Funny how some people say it's fine, while others have major problems.
I'm in the latter category. I used FastCPU for a very long time on my trusty N760 and it was great. Version-3, however, screws up my NR big time. Even if I leave everything at default speed (66) it is very unstable. I get frequent crashes and many of the "soft" resets turn unexpectedly into hard resets (memory completely wiped with no warning or confirmation message).
Oh well...
I tried it on my NR70V, but it seems to have problem that causes my NR to crash/freeze several times. After removing it my NR runs so smoothly. I am happy with the NR speed without overclocking it.:)

I tried numerous times with numerous applications. It crashed often and always at the worst possible time.
If you feel adventurous, at least get everything backed up properly.

It seems to have problems, but can't say for sure that it's FastCPU. It might have some conflict with something, possibly some hacks, jog dial??? NR needs soft reset a lot when I had FastCPU running (less after removing it, but still something sometime causes reset.)

I think Fastcpu is one of those programs you try at your own risk. Do a big backup before you load it and hope for the best. Extra speed is always nice but considering it crippled my device, it obviously wasn't worth it for me. If you can get it running stable on yours, more power to you.

Fast CPU 3 Crashes my NR70V leading to total loss of data. Megasoft support do not register this as a problem!! it is. Now no longer use Fast CPU and suggest extreme caution when trying!!

How about the older version of fast cpu. I started using this one cause it did not have the problems. I use it on quicksheet and ms import. Made a huge diff. Making it download faster.

I tried to use the fast CPU, and unfortunetly Agendus crashes, even if set at 66MHz, besides speed increase I gain on other apps is only 20% when set @99MHz.
Is anybody using Agendus with FastCPU succesfully?

The older version is not for the NR series (only supports clocking up to 66MHz, and the NR is already 66).
