Yeah I noticed your name in my sales report recently.
I knew I would very quickly hear about you again! :)
Your TigerMark looks too high. When you overclock too much a Palm, it can
actually run slower, and that could well be the case with yours (even if the
TigerMark looks stellar).
Do the following:
1) use a REAL clock to see if Chess Tiger's clock runs at the right pace.
2) if it does not run at the right pace, you MUST decrease the "speed" of your
Palm with AferBurner. Actually you do not make it slower by doing this!
3) repeat 1 and 2 until Chess Tiger's clock is following your REAL clock. When
it is the case, you have reached the REAL fastest speed.
The problem with overclocking too much is that it actually makes your Palm run
SLOWER. This is explained in AfterBurner's HTML doc. The author of AfterBurner
is not responsible of this (the problem is the Palm hardware), but he is trying
to find a way to avoid the problem.
A typical TigerMark for a m505 overclocked to 54MHz (like mine!), is slightly
under 1.40 (might be 1.30 or 1.35 for example).
Higher numbers are suspect.
