    I am curious to compare Build Info between other CT802 owners. Post values from Settings-About tablet or Android System Info. There seem to be differences like functioning gps versus not, root access versus none. The CT802 I have examined has root access and no GPS functionality. This is...

    For me, reading ebooks is a critical task. I played around with the CT802 at my local Fry's for about an hour. I downloaded and then opened a 22 MB PDF version of Volume 30 of the magazine called Make, http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920022398.do, using Adobe Reader. I was disappointed by...

    9.7" Capactive IPS tablet, w Android 4.0 and Android Play Store, Frys B&M $188

    Thanks, tifozi. Looks like this CT802 has the Allwinner A10 system-on-a-chip (SOC) with 1.2 GHz single core Cortex A8 CPU and Mali-400 MP GPU. The distributor incorrectly lists the GPU as the Vivante GC800 which led me to believe that the CT802 has a RK2918 SOC. Kind of a bummer to to...

    Seems like this model has the Rockchip RK6918 system-on-a-chip (SOC) with single core Cortex A8 CPU and Vivante GC800 GPU. Video playback is reported to be good. The silicon is optimized to decode VP8 @ 1080p. Reported to do well with H.264 too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockchip#RK2918...

    FRY's B&M e4300 + ECS Mobo - $149+tax

    I am wondering if the BIOS on the ECS board sets dividers for the AGP and PCI clocks based on the CPU's BSEL[2:0] value of 200MHz. So, when FSB is increased to 266, the AGP and PCI buses get overclocked into instability. If this is what is happening, I wonder if ECS would tweak the BIOS to...

    I have been looking for this too. Digi-Key will take orders of 10 at a time - about $150 per 10. silentmaxx seems to jut carry 40x40x10 mm fans, not 40x40x20. I decided to order a Panansonic fan from Digi-Key since that is what they keep in stock.
