All of us want to have the fastest broadband connection. Same apply to me. After 1 week of testing Maxis Wireless Broadband based on its iPad data plan with Maxis WiFi Modem (E5832), I have the result finally. Data points were collected almost every hour to have the most accurate benchmark result. And the test locations are Sungai Petani and Kulim, Kedah. Most were done at my house which near to JPJ Sungai Petani. Okay, let’s find out how does Maxis Wireless Broadband perform…

Overclocking is not a stranger to me. I overclocked my old Intel Core2 Extreme quad-core processor QX9650 to 3.6 GHz. And I can overclock my HTC HD2 with SetCPU’s help too. SetCPU is CPU speed tweaking application for Android. In details, it allows control of certain aspects of the Linux cpufreq driver by allowing for overclocking, underclocking and tweaking speeds. It works on most rooted Android 1.5, 1.6, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2 builds.

How is your hard disk drive performance? Is its reading and writing speed fast enough for your video editing applications or fast pace gaming? CrystalDiskMark is a free disk benchmark software. It can benchmark reading and writing speed of hard disk drive (HDD), solid-state drive (SSD), and flash memory like Secure Digital (SD, SDHC, SDXC) and Compact Flash (CF) cards.
CrystalDiskMark
Compact Flash (CF) Card X-Speed Rating is not exact same as SD, SDHC and SDXC Card Speed Class Rating which use minimum writing speed as guideline. CF card is based on value of X which translate into 1X = 150 KiloBytes per second. The X-Speed rating is up to writing speed (no minimum writing speed defined which mean it might be lower writing speed). Example, 10X is equivalent up to 1.5 MB/s writing speed.
Most of the digital camera and camcorder are able to record HD video nowadays. And most of them are using SD card which have SDHC and SDXC standards. The writing speed is very important as you don’t want to miss recording any frame of the video. The speed class rating is based on minimum writing speed of the SD cards. There are class 2, class 4, class 6 and class 10 SD cards in the market now.
