Re: [cobalt-users] how do you check CPU speed? (nm, found it, update works)



FYI; that update works fine. I bought a used raq3 for $350, cpu and ram for
$60, and now have a 500mhz raq4 with 384 megs of ram.

So you have to replace the CPU or is this some type of software-speed up thing? I thought the CPU was soldered in, is that not correct?

Have the model of the CPU I would need? I understand if you have a faster CPU and some OS upgrade ... but how does it make it a RAQ4? Or are those the only differences in the 3 and 4?

Any other problems we should know about?
Thanks,
