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. __________________ My country was of thy.....

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.

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... __________________ Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

NR needs soft reset a lot when I had FastCPU running (less after removing it, but still something sometime causes reset.)

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. __________________ My country was of thy.....

Warwick Guest Posts: n/a	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!!

lewinski Junior Member Join Date: Apr 2003 Location: Poland Posts: 1	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).
