2 Q's?

Hey, I was just thinking, and it seems like almost everybody out here uses the Jumper Pak when they portabilize thier 64s. Why? Size? Heat? Why does everybody use the Jumper instead of the Memory Expansion Pak?

I was also wonderring if anybody has ever found a way to overclock the 64 in a way to allow varying the speed more than 4 different speeds(1x, 1.5x, 2x, and 3x). For example, with the NES, the speed was dependent on the clock going into pin 29. By changing the oscilator, it would change the speed. Also, why do they say lift the pin, instead of just cutting the copper trace? Are there mid and/or bottom layer traces, or is there some other reason?

If anybody could help me, please do. BTW: I'm using an old black US model.

Searched both, and neither actually gave me the answers to my questions.

I think a jumper pack is used 'cause the expansion pack is really hard to get working right.

Maybe. Some are really sensitive, and just won't work right. Do you know if anybody has ever found a way to OC the 64 to more than 4 speeds?

jumper pack is used because you cant cut the expansion pack down, its to tall unless you find a way to build around it or make it thick. as to overclocking i have no idea

The jumper pack is used because we're cheap asses

What are you talking about? Jumper pak, expansion pak?

I'm guessing that Jumperpak = orginal pack and expansion pak = red upgrade pak.
