how much faster will my battery drain at 333mhz?
It depends on a number of factors. There is no real way to measure it:
1. Age of the battery. Over time the battery will hold less charge and run out of charge quicker. Newer batteries last a while longer than ones that have been used for a year.
2. Not all games use the CPU at 100%. Some games (or the XMB for instance) use very little CPU time, and some games constantly hammer the CPU which will only drain the battery faster.
Everyone's batteries last differing lengths of time depending on what they are doing. Personally I've never run out of charge, and I have no idea how long the battery lasts in mine as I don't really play on it for 3 hours continuously, only when I get spare time.
ok, im playing vcs at 333 mhz
A Li-ion battery decreases (if it is used moderatly and is quite warm) about 10-15% every year, I have used mine tonnes and I haven't had it a year, but I have'nt noticed any more of a drain, apart from running at 333mhz.
Playing VCS on 333mhz drained my battery quite quickly
the performance of the game really isnt any different though, if its on 333 if the game was made for 222, so whats the point of overclocking? (i think thats right? i may be wrong though)
actually alot of the games i have dont run smooth unless i overclock. for example outrun and many others. some games lag and become choppy unless you overclock.
sorry about that last comment up there, i just ran MOHH at 300, and it was way smoother then running at default :D
Some company for battery says charging and using battery at same time, it will consume more battery's life.
333 mhz I would say around 18% faster.
I beg to differ, a PSP normally runs at 222mhz, 333mhz is in theory 50% faster than normal.
Theory is usually wrongQuote:

i would say it would be more than 18% though, when i ran MOHH at 300, it was much smoother, maybe 20% :D lol (i got no clue, all i know is that it was noticably faster, i liked it, and now i have my psp set on 300 for umd/iso, im scared of 333, too much battery gone that way)
thanks guys, i just hate it cuz when i play VCS, its always really choppy when i get on bikes and do stuff.
