Most of the drivers are parametric, meaning their counter and VCSL values are derived from the main clock.
A few aren't and will need a quick recalculation. I do know that anything built off the Parallax driver is going to work, as well stuff built off of SIMPLE_NTSC / Potatohead drivers.
I just got a demoboard working, and that was my plan for the weekend. Sweet! Nice to know it works.
And yes, a 25% speed increase is definitely noticable!
Well written software should only require changing the _xinfreq line, as you've noticed... and later, under Largos, Largos-aware code won't even have to change that, as under Largos programs are NOT allowed to change it, but are to read it from the OS

Just plugged one of these little gems into my demoboard...
Why didn't you say that I wouldn't have to adjust my video settings??!!
These are an EXCELLENT replacement! Only requirement is to change
the _xinfreq line. It might be my imagination, but even Aigeneric seems
to be crisper at this speed.

I tested it to ...
Works on mostly Drivers ... But some VGA drivers ned adjustments on Frame Rate with some monitors.
But it was not new info for me that i RUN Propeller often with diferent frequencies.

I use a 47uF, 10V tantalum cap on both the input & output of the 3.3 volt regulator.
We also use a good quality .1uF ceramic capacitor directly under the propeller chip
on the backside of the board.
Electrolytic capacitors are inexpensive but have a shorter life, they can even explode
and leak electrolyte all over. Tantalum caps on the other hand have a longer lifetime,
much lower impedance's and are dry inside.
