Hi All, I am contemplating upgrading my iPaq 3630 to 128Mb stacked internal Ram, however I am quite capable of performing the procedure myself, can this be ordered just as ram? Thanks, Comm |

Email from Mark, our Repairs Manager. Mahesh I will email leonard to see if he will sell just the RAM.I think that there is more to it than just putting the RAM in? The main difference between the Native and the Stacked RAM Upgrade is if the original manufacturer were to release a BIOS that supported the full capacity of RAM, the stacked version would still require our driver. The memory would be partitioned into a 64MB conventional RAM segment and the remainder as a storage disk called T2T DISK. The Native RAM upgrade would not require our driver. One major benefit of our Stacked RAM / T2T DISK is significantly faster access. Unlike conventional RAM, the T2T DISK space has no compression overhead. Video and audio files which do not benefit from further compression are much better suited to the T2T DISK space as well as high speed games To make it work you need a T2T disk if he does it him self he will not get this each unit gets it own disk from PPc Techs.

OK, thanks Mahesh, I may have to send it in then, however this leaves me without the use of my ipaq for 3-6 weeks? Is this really how long it takes? Thanks again for the help. |

No really, but we mention it just in case. I'll double check with Mark. -- Mahesh - eXpansys |

Hello all, I purchased the 128mb stacked upgrade. I posted my IPAQ out on Monday and I had it back on Saturday. Great turnaround. Question. When I open the T2T DISK file on my IPAQ it says software not present a soft re-set may be required. This does not fix the status.Is this a problem Thanks Iain |

Just a quick post asking if this operation (upgrading the H3630 from 32M to 128M) was a worthwhile exercise or a pipe dream? I'm currently using my iPaq H3630 with Pocket PC 2002 and a Navman GPS add on and experiencing sluggish performance with the GPS software compared to when I was simply using Pocket PC 2000 which is an almost caveman like OS. |

Well, the upgrade is a couple of years old atleast! Though, I've noticed that the performance of the machine *does* increase, however, if I were you, I'd invest in a new PDA than patch the old one. 'course this is my very personal opinion, nothing to do with eXpansys! -- Mahesh |

Yes I realise it's a few years old now but I just bought it as it came bundled with a Navman GPS unit (GPS 3450) which I have fell in love with. But with a few more Megs under it's belt I just know it'll run alot smoother. At the moment I can only get the GPS to run after commencing a "soft" reset as it accumalates a loss of memory if you don't start the GPS function right away. This is even after I took the trouble to install the Navman software on the Compact Flash card. Maybe buying a later (and compatible with the GPS) iPaq might be the shot? |

It’s not just the iPaq that is dated, the software will be too. If you like the Navman software, This would be my suggestion for you. It will do everything as with your current kit, but faster and it’s smaller so easier to carry |

For AU$500 I will put up with the h3630's shortcomings. For the time being it gets me from A to B and also tells me when I need to be there so it's a step up for me coming from owning a Palm Tungsten E. I must say that the new iPaq I saw in a magazine today with GPS inbuilt looks tasty. Must cost a packet though. |

Are you thinking of the HW6515? |
