Hi

Simple enough one has 1 chip and one has 2 chips.

Sagems are usually 1x chip but the nokia can be either 1x or 2x.

The image you put on a box is dependant on this you cant put a 2x image onto a 1x box and vice versa.

Regards

Yeah i knew about it was either 1 or 2 chips. But what difference does it make?
Is it performance? any difference in workings with the two?

Hi

Aah right ok as far as I know and Im no expert there are better people on here who may be able to answer it correctly but Im going to chance it anyway, there is no difference as far as performance is concerned or am I getting confused with avia 500 and avia 600.

Hoping one of the dbox gurus can confirm this obviously there must be a reason for having 1 chip or 2.

nokias 2x chip -
sagems 1x or 2x chip (intel or amd)

from my experiences nokia or sagem 2x amd r the most stable....but i'm sure many people have different opinions

Hi

Duh how did I get that one wrong lol, yeh you`re right.

For the benefit of the op could you clarify what the benefit between having 1 chip or 2 on the box, personally I have never liked the sagems only nokias, there was a time when everyone was saying nokias were better then you got some people saying sagems were better, so yeh down to opinions.

I have a sagem 1 x and 2 x here both solid as a rock
Nokia is the main box though
But i wouldent swop either sagem for a nikia as there working blob on.Paul

there are good boxes and not so good boxes...
when you get a good one hang onto it !! its gold dust lol.

i have 2 2x sagems not intel chips and both are as sturdy as stone.

but ive seen many boxes and there is no set pattern,, some boxes are a shed load better than others.

i never liked nokias personally... always be a sagem man.

Well i just bought a Sagem 1x chip from a guy on the forum for £65 inc P+P which i think is extremely reasonable.
Anyone know where i can get some bootscreens for gui and lcd and some skins etc.

Thanks
