i just bought one from a local pc store for $15, but the thing only updates every 3 seconds. i want at least 1sec intervals. is there a reason for such a long update period? i opened the thing and as i expected there is a quartz(?) crystal in there. now i cant check the frequency that it puts out or anything like that. my idea to make it update faster was to change for a higher freq crystal, but i dont know which one will be 3 times faster than whatever i have stock. any thoughts on this?
