Prefetch/Undefined Instruction/Data Abort Errors... cheap refurb as cause?

<< < (4/4)

Llorean:
Corruption of what, exactly, can lock the CPU at 30mhz? Why is this bug not reported if you've seen it before?


As to fragmentation - how is fragmentation supposed to affect a song's playback after it's buffered? Fragmentation could only cause a problem that looks like this if the songs are always played back in the exact same order, in which case it could cause a brief pause or a few in the playback of the first song to be rebuffered if the watermark was too low, and buffering took too long.

As the user described the problem though, this isn't the case.

So please, tell me, what assumptions about "how things work" are incorrect?


As to the issue of double battery life for double RAM, you can see how I misunderstood given this quote:

--- Quote ---The RAM plus the battery is the only difference between the 2 hours of video playback at 1Mbit/s on a 32MB and the 6.5 on a 64, and the battery's only 50% bigger. And during video playback the CPU's pretty much going full-tilt. Put the 600mAh batt on the 32MB one and you'll get about 3. (Which is exactly what the 5th gen 60GB had.) So now the difference between 3 and 6.5 is... the RAM.

--- End quote ---

Note how you explicitly state that the only difference between 3 and 6.5 hours of playback should be the difference in RAM (that is 32 vs 64). Given this, I don't see how I could've hoped to understand that what you were trying to say is contradictory to what you actually posted.


Last piece of information - whoever told you that 5.5G means 64MB of RAM from Apple has misled you or is referring to something different than what their website refers to as the later model iPod Videos. Before the 5.5G even existed (at least as differentiated by serial numbers from Apple's website) there were 64MB "iPod Videos" in the wild - those with 60GB HDs.

No, on all points where you disagree Llorean is right and you are wrong.

Wow.  Rather then humor you here I'm just going to suggest that you learn to listen when you're out of your league and lock this thread.
