I was browsing software and i found out that certain palms can be overclocked/underclocked through software. For example there is lightspeed (www.clievideo.com).

Rather than speeding up the processors (which i doubt i\'ll require), i was thinking more on the lines of underclocking to improve battery life.

Thanks.

Yup, which Zaurus do you have? The SL-5500 has this ability in the standard kernel. You just need to install this: http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/showdetail.php?app=827 and this http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/showdetail.php?app=872

The later Zaurus models need to have a special kernel installed to give access to the CPU register that increases/descreases speed. There isn\'t a GUI for these at the moment though, but I\'m sure it would be easy for someone to write one or edit QOverclock.

Tumnus,
Thanks. as surprising as it may sound... i don\'t have one... yet. IÂ´m still debating about 7x0/8x0 or 6000. This wait for the 6000 is unbereable.

Here is a GUI to play with the CPU register -] http://www.piro.hopto.org/~piro/zaurus/qcl...ge_0.1a_arm.ipk
