Hark the Herald Angels Sing!
And lo, through the clouds came a voice "I shall return thy XDA to thee and it shall haveth 128 megs of RAMeth. There shall be much rejoicing!" :lol: I just got it back moments ago, upgraded RAM courtesy of the fine folks at Pocket PC Techs. I feel like the right side of my brain was just returned to me. :P

Did you have a problem (i.e. additional costs) re: getting it back and forth across the border?

I know how you feel. I'm still running my iPAQ 3630, since I had the RAM upgraded to 128MB by PPCTechs over a year ago. It's great!

Not quite clear on the concept. How is that additional RAM exhibited? Is it seen as a RAM disk, providing additional on-board storage? Or is it actually usable as program RAM and integrated into the overall OS memory management process? (Does the memory manager now say 128M divided between program and storage with the slider?)

Boy, do I know that feeling!! I'd love to hear how everything works with the Phone side now that you have more RAM. Is phone performance any better??

Out for delivery
I sent my ipaq 3955 to PPC Techs just under 2 weeks ago and it's out on the FedEx truck for delivery. Took longer because of the holiday. Can't wait to see how it runs. Thought I read on their site that the PPC Techs think their memory/driver combo runs faster than the standard memory the ipaq came with. Hurry up and deliver it. Tough going without it for almost 2 weeks.

64MB is in the OS, 64MB is a special flash-like disk (looks like a storage card to the OS).

Since the OS can only see 64MB, they wrote a small driver that is installed on the Pocket PC and makes the OS believe there is a memory card installed.
I don't know if it's true, but to me the response seems much quicker than a memory card.

Yes Chris, performance is much better. Everyone that calls now speaks much quicker and get's right to the point. :lol:

It should be because that 64MB disk is RAM, which is fast, compared to the Flash RAM of a storage card which is painfully slow in comparison.
