  • Use an SSD instead of a standard HDD
  • Use 2GB RAM
  • Disable/remove all unnecessary background services
  • Install the latest nVidia drivers
  • Use XBMC Live if possible

Does anyone know about an ion hack. Googling it brings up info that you can increase performance. Will that work in my case?

2GB of RAM is plenty, I'd say make sure DXVA is enabled, turn on GPU assisted FanArt decoding and try one of the latest nightly builds and enable dirty regions.

Does anyone understand much about the ion hack? Will it work on my revo?

what ion hack? I have a Ion and despite having researched and worked on fixes and tweaking various aspects, what you say as a hack is vague to say the least. SO can you post a link to which hack you refer to.

if its about the ION LE hack then it has nothing to do with ION gen 1 which includes revos and such.

Yeah I was talking about the ion le hack. Sorry I wasn't more specific but I knew little about it myself. You say it is not for revo's? Why is that?

Does this have any relevance?

Revos R3610 ARE ION not ION LE a example of a Revo ION LE is Revo 1600 single core.

here's the difference between ION and ION LE (not much really but enough?

Now if Your revo is ION no need to do any hacking. Its along the lines if it isn't broke don't fix it.

Capisce?

Im on my ipod touch now. Google it or i can help later. You need to download the asrock oc tool. Add a ion.cfg file and you are good to go. There is a tutorial. I have the files if you cant find them. Let me know.

i know of only the Windows way. It's only a program that changes the FSB so I'm sure it can be done. Maybe you can find something like it on ubuntu.

Now, I'll serve as the devils advocate.

Despite the Acer and asrock Sharing a great deal and common hardware wise and being manufactured by same company (Pegratron), the Bioses are different in fact quite different...

If it is wise to use a tool from a completely different company made to work with their bioses and hardware tweaks, is this even wise for a marginal gain that will be hardly noticeable?

Not to mention Atom overclock can be done natively in the system bios without risky or potential damaging HACKS.

Like a wise man once said.
