dlorenzo Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I know it sounds crazy but I think many people could make good use if it is possible to overclock this thing. The specs (taken from http://wiki.awkwardtv.org/wiki/Parts): Processor 1.0GHz Intel Pentium M-based "Crofton" CPU, based on SSE2 Dothan model # 7645A966 0159 Cypress CY28445LFXC-5 Clock Generator - for Intel Calistoga chipset (MIA on Cypress site) Northbridge Chipset Intel 945G Southbridge Chipset Intel 82801GUX (ICH7 Family) I/O Controller Hub 7 (ICH7-U) - 'Ultra Mobile' version (GU) with PCI express and (probably) SPI (X undocumented @Intel) Also I read more of the processor: - 2 MB of L2 cache - 350 MHz underclocked system bus So anyone has a clue of where to start trying to overclock this thing??

Also maybe the ability to play h.264 Main Profile. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/56898-overclocking-appletv/#findComment-406598 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlorenzo Posted July 16, 2007 Author Share Posted July 16, 2007 So anyone has a clue of where should I start from?? BTW I can run almost any 10.4.9 intel app on the AppleTV if that helps out on doing things easier.

Azurael Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Why are they using a 945G rather than a 945P when the ATV has a dedicated GPU? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/56898-overclocking-appletv/#findComment-409829 Share on other sites More sharing options...
