Just any FYI, I flashed the ITOS2007HE with Fanoush's MMCPlus52Mhz + Multiblock writes experimental kernel mod and it seems to be running great. I couldn't find anywhere where someone has tried this, so I just wanted to state something for the record.

I used Fanoush's write speed test example command "sync ; date ; dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/mmc/test bs=8192 count=5000 ; sync ; date" and transferred 40MB in about 30-40 seconds, which was way better than the 4-5 minutes I got before flashing.

I'm not sure if it is my imagination, but graphically intense sites seem to load MUCH faster. The only thing I can think of is the much increased write (and read) speed of the cache/virtual ram?

I'm using the Kingston 2GB mmcmobile card and I used the kernel flasher directly in the N770 from x-term. I also boot from the MMC Card, so hopefully the whole system is getting a boost.

EDIT: Yes I can say for sure that by booting from the MMC card and running the read and write patch that the whole system is much "snappier" and websites load/navigate faster. Which is to be expected from such an increase in read/write speeds.
