Meh, I'll either OC it or break it trying! lol

Yep, I am very disapointed that the 6800 can't be OC'd. It runs better than my 6700 did stock but not better after my 6700 was OC'd. Anyhow, I think that since the Mogul is getting old and people are moving on to Touch Pro or Diamond, it just made more of a reaso not to spend time. It also doesn't look like the Mogul will have as much life as the Apache has...

Interesting...I got another refurb 67 from Verizon. (They were willing to wave the $50 fee). When I overclock using XCPUScalar, it locks up at 624--instantly--when switched to that speed. My other apache did not...it cruised at 624. I'm going to likely keep it since I need the speed and the only problem I had was the letter "Q" on the keyboard barely works.

Any idea what could be going on that it locks up at 624?

No idea personally but I do remember there were a few ppl who couldnt do 624 and would have adverse affects but mine like your older one would fly at 624 all day. Too bad the 68 cant be OC'ed.

Strange, I always had my 6700 OC'ed at 624. Never locked up. When I sed the Kirvin ROM and had it at 624 it was like the best. It didn't lockup like my Mogul does. I am getting very mad that the 6800 can't be OC'ed.

Yeah I believe you're right!! Now, the thing is it could be some incompatibility issue w/ the kitchen process. or WM6.1. or just straight doesn't work as coded on the Apache.

What is does seem to do, is lock the device speed minimum at 300 (312 I guess), b/c when I had it running, I seemed to have significantly less batt. life. So, in that respect, stuff would happen a bit snappier b/c it wouldn't be scaling down to 104 every time the system was idle. Make sense?

I'm sure Rome and I were hoping to hear from someone who has HTC Performance running verifiably successfully on their Apache(s) ???

Yes. I think we sometimes "think" it's running snapier or quicker, when in fact, the cache or the amount of temp files in ram are what's affecting speed. I've found consistently--every time--that setting the CPU at 520 Mhz with XCPUScalar and viewing a video with TCPMP will display video with no chops or "hicups". On the other hand, using HTC Performance only does nothing to improve video performance.

That's my two cents...though we're getting close to a dollar by now on this topic.

Well a long time ago when I had WM5 on my 67 and was using Pocket Hack Master and I did bench test on the device and read write memory and did screenshots on both before the OC and after the OC and you could see the results easily.

Agreed. Pocket Hack Master is another commercial utility I tried (along with XCPUScaler) that effectively overclocks the 6700. I've yet to see the same evidence with HTC Performance.
