"The principle feature of Palm OS 5 is that it is the first Palm operating system which runs on the ARM family of RISC [reduced instruction set computer] microprocessors which are anywhere from two to 30 times faster than the existing 68K microprocessors that Palm OS today runs on," said Nagel. Plus very soon there will be faster palms running up to 400 Mhz next year. This means that Chess Tiger could even reach up to 2400 in Elo rating points. Pichard.
