The Dell Axim, 400 Mhz with Mobile 2003 and ROM A05 (again very important) gets
almost 20K nps while running PF2.  I have seen as high as 38K nps while running
straight at 400 Mhz,  You must have the PF2 upgrade to run under Mobile 2003.
PF1 does not run under Mobile 2003 period.  There are simliar increases for PGM
as well under Mobile 2003,  Again , you must have the upgrade to verision 2.1
for PGM.
