I'm using AfterBurner 3.0z.

The speed I get is not exceptional for a m505 (at least 52MHz seems common).

I think other models can run even faster, even if their clock speed is not as
high (it depends about wait states and other stuffs).

Maybe your Prism is already as fast as my m505 (see above).

I'm not worried about having problems. The problems show up immediately when you
overclock a Palm too much: it just crashes very quickly.

So it does not take long to figure out the fastest speed you can use.


And for those who wonder, no, a Palm CANNOT OVERHEAT. That's not an issue for a
Palm. It just hangs if it is too much overclocked. You just reset it and it is
fine.
