Root anyone given 1.5 ghz a shot?

lol, I was going to post a thread about this too.. Idk if that's even safe for our droid long term is it? I want to try it. I mean, that'd be sick! "hey my droid is running 1.5Ghz" lol. Some crappy laptops are running that I think and our droid's could be! ;) But Idk, maybe.. Could it do major damage though?

But your speed should double because the bytes can jump to the other side :thinking:

But your phone also requires modification to use the new high cards as well.

To me, it all seems pointless anyway, though. I mean, ever since they discovered the USB Host hack, I've just been carrying around my 2tb external HD plugged into the droid. Who worries about a 16 gb card when you have that kind of space?

So do you just have that 2TB hd in a big fanny pack? If so I think we need pics :D

Im thinking it would probably look like something similar to this

Ouch! I didn't need to see that this early in the morning :eek::eek::eek:
I duck-taped my old adaptec scsi card to my droid, hard wired it, and have it chained to a hard drive, hp scanner, and an old laser printer. I painted the Android logo on the required wheel barrel. Looks cool! Can I borrow a long extension cord????

I haven't "felt" any significant difference with anything above 1100 that I've tried. Even 950-1100 is very little change. Of course the benchmarks are higher, but in real world use, it feels about the same. I don't think it's worth it for me to try to push the thing to 1300-1500 and risk causing problems when it's faster than hell already.

I think if we submerse our phones in liquid nitrogen 2ghz will be no problem. It will just be painful to make calls with my Droid frozen to my ear :eek: (but then again, 3 or 4 months ago who thought we could get reliable results at 1.2?)

Who's up for some DICE runs? I'm sure we can push it to 4GHz that way.

I agree it's getting a little like, let's see exactly what the breaking point is. Especially since some people can't get above 950, or even 800. I don't know what vcore those high OCs need, but with passive cooling it's just going to reach a point of either overheating or instability, or both.
