Hello,
  I plan on buying a handheld computer mainly to upgrade my Sapphire. Strength
is the most important factor for me. Until a week ago I was planning on buying a
Palm + Chess Tiger and/or Genius. Then I found out about a Pentium laptop that
is the size of WinCe machines. My dilemma is: Is Tiger/Genius on Pentium (75-120
MHz MMX) stronger than Tiger/Genius on a Palm? I heard that a new Palm processor
at the speed around 200 MHZ will arrive in the fall. I know that speed cannot be
compared between processors but one of the has to be stronger. Would regular
Pentium be stronger than a StrongArm processor twice Pentium's speed? Thanks.
