This also does not eliminate the possibility that these are re-labeled chips.
Without an MMU or FPU these could be easier to overclock.
It would really hurt to know that the Chinese figured this out and it never occurred to the of us.
But surface mount chips aren't something a hobbyist would normally consider (when there are socketed alternative).
You did notice that the Sysinfo screens did seem to indicate a lack of MMU and FPU functions, didn't you?
The lack of floating point functions is a significant minus for some software.
This whole mystery just just murkier the more its examined.
