Tungsten Overclock?

I've recently become a new owner of a Palm Tungsten E, and I was wondering if there are any overclocking resources out there for this type of Palm. All of my searches turn up info about Ipaq's and other Palms. Any info would be appreciated.
 
I had posted a thread that had Overclocks of other PDA's. the Tungsten E looks very sleek and nice, my question to you is " What's the processor that you have in it. It's either the Dragonball by Motorola or the X-scale processor by Intel, and I'm not sure but I believe that Texas Instruments also made processors for Palm. But out of the group mentioned above the best Overclocker would be the Intel X-scale processor. And it doesn't matter with this processors( X-scale that is) there are tons of program for OCing for the X-scale, if it's any of the other's, OCing is possible but it will not be good, and there are not that many programs for these Processors( usually it's done manually). I'll look and see if I can find anything.

PS: Overclocking your PDA will bring a significant increase in performance, but can also bring problems, examples: Crashing a lot, draining the battery, and even permanantly damgeing to the hardware. That being said, you take your own risk, it's new and is worth more to you than maybe in 5 years, so make sure about what your doing. From what I hear, that PDA runs very nice. Quesion- " why do you want to OC it"? What are you Ocin for?

Currently OCing my Cassiopeia E-125, which has a NEC VR122 CPU from 150mhz( stock) to 200.7mhz, and this processr is a 32/64 bit processor just like the AMD 64's.:)
 
I'm fairly sure its not the x-scale. The X-Scale does OC well, i can run my 300 mhz at 350 fairly stable, but I choose not to, it's just not worth the battery life.
 
You see, there's one for battery life, his running at 350 drains the battery, thx for posting Tolonz
 
The processor is a Texas Instruments (ARM) OMAP 311 126MHz. I want to overclock it just to do it, kinda a geeky hobbyist thing I suppose. Thanks for the help
 
That might be a tough one. There were only a couple devices that actually used that chip (It was an intermediate step between the Dragonball and XScale chips).

It's too bad that it isn't the XScale, The XScale is very easy to tweak. Back when I was at Penn State (and the XScale was new) I wrote a program to change the clock speed, bus speed, mem divider, etc. on XScale PPC200x devices as my final project for CSE497B (for any who might be at PSU, that class was an experiment, it may no longer be taught or be called the same thing). I had my Toshiba E740 running at almost 500 MHz (instead of 400 MHz). I had the memory speed bumped up so I got a lot-better-than-linear increase in EverQuest performance. :)

I've considered going back into development to make it automatically adjust the clock speed based on program demand...
 
Dude nice litkaj, now this sounds like a guy that knows what he's talking about. Does the Texas instrument OC well?
