Pocketnow Reviews XCPUScalar
Posted by Jonathon Watkins in "SOFTWARE" @ 04:00 PM
Tim Adams over at Pocketnow has taken a closer look at XCPUScalar, the over/under-clocking utility by Immiersoft. The review is just what you would hope for with plenty of screenshots and benchmarks. Overall, on balance, taking all factors into consideration, I'd say that Tim like the program :wink: :
"If you are using a 400MHz Pocket PC - XCPUScalar is a must have. Not only can you get increased speed out of your unit, but you can also extend the battery life by downscaling the CPU. And for the price of $14.50 - what a steal. I've used XCPUScalar since version 2.5 (from July 2003) - as you can see from reading my prior reviews - and have had nothing but good things to say about it."
I'd have to agree with that sentiment. I bought XCPUScalar last year and have been very happy with it. Yes I know there are free alternatives, but having used them for while, I still found it worthwhile switching to it. If you're thinking of the best way to get that extra bit of oomph out of your PPC, then it's worth your while to see what Pocketnow think of XCPUScalar. And hey, any review that starts with a quote from Spaceballs has to be worth a look, hasn't it? :wink:
