Viliv X70 gets Windows XP treatment – CrystalMarkScore results
Ctitanic over mobilitysite has installed Windows XP on the Viliv X70 UMPC and he got pretty good results when running the CrystalMark test on it. Although, it is clear that he despises Windows XP and considers installing Windows XP as ‘crime and punishment’ on a sleek machine like Viliv X70.
However, we beg to differ. Windows XP is still a fine OS to run on netbooks. Granted, Windows 7 will make things only better, but by no means Windows XP is a ‘crime and punishment’ on such UMPCs.

How to make your Viliv S5 run faster
Find your Viliv S5 slow? Well,if you are comfortable in doing a little overclocking, you can make the overall experience better to a certain extent. Here is how to do it:
First, download setFSB from here. Then, use setFSB to increase the FSB to 160MHz. This will basically set the clock speed to 1.6GHz, thus running your Viliv faster.
You can also set the FSB to 186MHz, which will make Viliv S5 to run at even higher clock speeds, that is, 1.86GHz. However, we won’t recommend you doing this as it may harm your device.
PS: Increase FSB by 5MHz each time so that the whole system does not crash.
PS2: The setFSB is only available for Windows 7, Windows XP and Vista
