For the battery on the Prizm you can have 4 AAA alkaline batteries OR 4 AAA Ni-MH batteries
I have a Casio Prizm now! YAY!!! :D

Doesn't the CX runs at 120 MHz by default and 150 only when overclocked?

No. It's the ClickPad/TouchPad...

CX/CM CPU runs at 132MHz by default, and up to 252 MHz when overclocked.
252MHz is the highest stable overclock ever performed to my knowledge, but not by me.
The best I got by myself is 240MHz.

Oh right it was 132. Thanks for clarifying. In my case above 222 MHz nover warns me that it's not safe. (Actually I can got a bit higher and get away with no crash but around 246 it reboots)

I should be getting my new CX in a few days when I go home for fall break, so I guess we'll get another overclock value to add to the list soon :D

!Update. Replaces the specs table with a picture, since it otherwise looked screwed.
You could have used the [table] code :P
This article is great, it is objective and really helps choosing the calc according to people's preferences, unlike some biaised article I saw on another website that purely advertised for one of the two calcs :)

edit: I gave you your 112th post rating :P
Oh right XD.
Thanks a lot!

Update: My new TI-Nspire CX CAS got really lucky and can clock its CPU up to 276MHz without crashing (282MHz is an instant crash). I have yet to see if 276MHz will cause occasional random crashes, but a simple test of gpSP-Nspire seems stable so far.

Edit: Okay, starting up Metroid Fusion in gpSP-Nspire causes a crash at 276MHz. Stable at 270MHz. As past cases have shown, the highest setting isn't fully stable.

You can now emulate a Casio PRIZM on a TI-Nspire? O.O

Shockingly high, though. Mine is 246 max it seems with the current version of Nover. 242 with the previous ones. Above that it just reboots.

Great! Congratulations :)
Which AHB setting did you use?

May we have your Nspire CX hardware revision too ?

For my "stable" configuration I have 270MHz/270MHz/67MHz for base/cpu/ahb. On the back it says P-0112D (which I assume to be January 2012, revision D), and incidentally it came with OS 3.1.0.
