The Problems On 16MB Upgraded Prism
http://www.egroups.com/group/spug_visor

Great to inform that Kylin's Prism successful been upgraded to 16MB
to Jason Ng (Millions thanks to Jason Ng) on yesterday evening.

As your all very interested what's the problem will be encountered
after upgraded, let's Kylin share the information with your all as
belows :-

Stability
---------
Everything works fine as usual. Don't worry your 16MB upgraded
handheld won't hand as overclocked PC system

Battery Consumption
-------------------
After 1 day, Kylin does not encounter any battery consumption
problem. Of course you may feel your battery will drop slightly
faster than usual! This is because the additional memory increased
will extend the HotSync time as well. Anyhow, no big deal!

Performance
-----------
Same benchmark as before upgrade! 205%! Excellent!

LCD Display
-----------
Regret to inform that nothing perfect in this world. Because the
additional RAM placed on top the original RAM chip increased the
weight into LCD display, if you look clearly, you will find small
portion (5mmx5mm) on right top will slightly brigther than normal
display!

This problem only happened if you having module into Springboard slot
which will increased the pressure into RAM and LCD screen. (Press
hardly on your LCD display and you will know what's Kylin means)

Memory
------
Funny question! Can you tell Kylin how to fullfil 16MB memory space?
Don't forget Kylin also having 8MB flash module and total become 24MB

Backup Module
-------------
Obviously the backup module will be obsoleted after upgraded to 16MB.

Once you plug in the backup module into 16MB upgraded Visor, the
warning message will prompt to mention that BACKUP MODULE IS
INSUFFICIENT MEMORY TO BACKUP ALL HANDHELD DATA, WOULD YOU LIKE TO
BACKUP AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE? Choose YES/NO to continue.

How much the total memory will be backup? Probably is 50% of your
16MB memory

Flash Module & Other Modules
----------------------------
Flash module work well with 16MB upgraded handheld. No other fault
report submitted at this moment.


If you are interested to upgrade your Prism or Platinum to 16MB
memory, please feel free to contact Jason Ng at
