Pocket PC Techs HP iPAQ 4100 Series 64MB to 128MB Internal RAM Upgrade
The clever guys at Pocket PC Techs have released a new upgrade for us 4100 series owners - 128 whopping megs of RAM! Woo hoo! 8)
"Upgrade your iPAQ 4100 series internal RAM from 64MB to 128MB with our upgrade service. This memory upgrade does require our proprietary driver and is segmented as 64MB 'conventional' and 64MB as our Hi-Speed T2T Disk. This unit uses BGA memory, so stacking is not available and 128MB will be the maximum capacity."

Eeek, but $130. That is what always gets me is the price. Granted, PPC Techs do an amazing and great service, personally $130 is a lot of money for a 64MB upgrade.

<shrug> It's a hand-crafted hot-rod modification - things like that will always be expensive (just ask anyone who has car mods done). :wink:

I think its worth it for internal memory. I'm always running out of space and I hate having to install apps to a flash card.

Jason, (and other Canadians)
Have you had any issues with getting RAM upgrades from PocketPCTechs in terms of shipping the unit to and from the U.S.?

Could someone put the above quote into a "Rookie Geek" version? What would I be getting/locking myself into?
Thanks,

The additional 64MB would look like another storage card, although it would be much faster than SD or a Safe Store -- it's RAM, not flash or ROM. The bit about "stacking" just means they can't do it via a cheaper means that work on some Pocket PCs, and need to replace the RAM chips entirely with larger-capacity ones.

It can't be used for programs, just for storage. Might as well get an e805. You have 128MB of real RAM and 32MB of flash ROM. Oh yeah, and completely open VGA thanks to ResFix and the DeadZone hack. Oh yeah, you get CF too. 8)
