      @adambegood Thanks, I'll take a look and see what I can come up with.

      I also have one Pie 4 version I could go higher. I have the middle one, which I believe is the 4GB. But far as I know, going higher (and more expensive with the 8GB version), won't help with emulation, just multi-tasking for things like themes? Or do I not have that correct?

        Yep, 100%. Overclocking will give you a little bit of gain, the extra GB RAM will not do anything.

          Thanks for the info. One more quick question I just thought of. Is overclocking a permanent hardware change? Or is it inherit in the image of the sd card? I'm about to redo mine, and if I overclock before I reimage, will the settings persist? Or do I need to do that each time? I know there are many tweaks I can do on my motherboard of my desktop that are unaffected by changing the OS.

            @alphabetapie any time you reimage you'll need to redo anything you customized including overclock settings. The pi has no internal memory or bios.

              @alphabetapie Overclocking takes hardly any time though, in the scheme of things it isn't anything to worry about so far as having to do it twice goes. It's a few lines of text in a config file.
