i have a cfx-9850ga plus i put space invaders on but it runs really slow... imposible to play. And i am wondering is there anyway i could overclock the cpu or do anything else to make it run faster..

Thanks

[rstweb]

yes. but the person who would know how didn't published yet some informations about overclocking.

You have got to open your calc and mess with the stuff inside. Replacing chips and such. A german guy is going to reveal some information about doing that in the future. (if you feel fit enough to do this)

with a processor as slow as the cfx's, would overclocking it really make much of a difference? And while I haven't played around much inside the case of these things, I doubt they have much in them to deal with heat, so burning the processor doing this is probably a big threat.

Thank you for the information. I built my PC so im fairly well at tinkering inside small machines. And i got my cfx for 15$ at radio shack so it wouldnt be a very bid deal if i fried it.

Thanks Again

You built your PC? That means that you put in all the hardware components...that is not the same as trying to replace a chip by unsoldering it...

[Casto Productions]

$15? very nice, tell that store to move to IL. All the radio shacks around here don't even carry calcs. They leave that to best buy. And I have to agree with Killer83z, unsoldering a chip off a board and replacing it is far more difficult than computer components. I built my PC in about 25 minutes, but replacing chips that were not made to be replaced is beyond me. I guess it depends on how much you "built" your PC, because I do know a few people that really get into the nitty-gritty details of the comp and can replace and solder new stuff on, but they also have degrees in electrical fields

Where can I find the calculator?

Well, I assume that the online catalogue differs from the various product catalogues of the stores in the US. (And as we learnt from casto, the products differ among the shops as well). Maybe the specific calculator was a used one?

[Kescod]

killer83Z is right i went to the online site for radio shack and they didnt have the cfx-9850. I got mine at the radio shack in Austin, Minnesota. They Also had ti-83 plus (90$) and fx-7400g Plus (15$). but who wants one of those?...i made the mistake of buying one at walmart for 45$ before i knew about radio shacks prices :-(. And i dont think it was used, They had
a lot of them on sale. Maybe because Its the cfx-9850ga plus model instead of the cfx-9850gb plus model?"

[Bob Vila]

i dont think that there is too much difference between a 9850 ga and a 9850 gb is there?

[Casto Productions]

not totally sure the differences, but I think the gb has 64k mem rather than the 32k. And the calc that Kescod got is probably not used, I don't think Radio Shack carries used items (at least I've never seen anything around me).

[huhn_m]

I don't think that the 9850gb has 64 KB, because I own a GFX9850GB+ and
it has only 32 KB!

[Mohamed]

The only 64K CASIO calcs I saw were the CFX-9950GB+ & the CFX-9970G.

[rstweb]

the 98xxG(a / b ) (+) have 32k memory!
the 99xxG(a / b ) (+) have 64k memory!
