All PalmIII, PalmIIIx, PalmV and PalmVII can be overclocked by software. You do
not need to open the device. The processor's clock frequency can be adjusted by
software (that's one of the nice things of the DragonBall processor), and all
Palms are running by default far away from their limits.
There is a freeware (actually there are several ones) that you can download to
overclock your Palm. I'm using AfterBurner 2.2. The Palm runs by default at
16.58MHz. Mine runs at 26MHz since 6 months without any problem. With
overclocking and adjustement of the hardware settings (zero wait states for
example), my Palm runs 2.5 faster than a normal one.

Mmh... I don't know. My copy of the Palm ROM code is legal as I have bought a
Palm myself.
