Maxx134's results:
- XCPU: +16% gain
PHM: +38% gain
XCPU&LUM: +25% gain
PHM&LUM: +48% gain
Is a 50% overclock vs. 16% overclock worth switching to PHM? I vote yes. My reasons: to get that type of performance enhancement in the x86 world would require liquid nitrogen!!! Also, this is already a gaming ROM/machine, and gamers always like performance. So I vote that overclocking SHOULD be in the rom. Second, if BigJ just uses your posted settings and does it all automatically, there is no need for the average user to ever need to worry about the insane complexities of PHM. He is already adding in a cache settings util which I am opposed to sort of since now I have to learn what is the best cache size instead of him using one that works for most. (I don't trust the reports that 9.4 is less stable even though I am a source of them, since I also have a new ext. rom now.) In other words, if BigJ can (just by using your settings) make it start on startup and hide itself and not make the newbees go haywire then it is worth it, since it is just a big boost in speed. If web browsing goes 50% faster due to something that I don't have to learn myself, then it is worth it. If I need to read 100 pages to get it to work and stand on my head and play around with 100 settings then it is not worth it and I'd prefer to stick with xcpu. Ideally, there would be a gamers mode in which the phone is maxed out (and screen saver is turned off so that I can use iguidance in car) and a lamer's mode in which the phone is trying to do its best to save battery power.

EDIT: I confirmed Maxx134's 6700 settings (L=20,N=4,A=1,LCD=1,Turbo=check,half-turbo-not checked,fast-bus notchecked) seemed to work fine on my 6700. While BigJ makes good points, I think that 90% of 6700 should be overclockable to the same level, expecially these (that have the same ROM). BTW, phm and xcpuscalar are the same price. I was very happy trying the new phm. The older versions were hard to use but the last version is not as bad.
