Is there a way to highten its >play? My best guess is that it may be between 2450 - 2550 SSDF. But I don't believe in adding +200 to SSDF to get to USCF. That is all subjective of course. I do know it can play with Genius 3 on P4 1.7 Ghz that is 12x to 16x (or possibly more) faster than a P90. Genius 3 on a P90 is rated about 2300 SSDF. If you assume doubling is worth 50 points (some people believe it is more, others say it is worth less), that would put Genius 3 near 2500 SSDF on P4 1.7 Ghz machine. On my Dell Axim, I am unable to say which program is strongest - PF2, PGM or CGv1.5. They seem to very be close to me. If you use pondering "on", it will use the battery much faster. This is true with any PDA as the processor is going 100% all the time. If you overclock, battery charge will go down faster. If you overclock to 120% - expect battery life to be reduced by ~20%. Personally I have not played a game at 40/2 without it being plugged in so I don't know the answer. If I'm uncertain how long I will be before the next charge, I would set pondering "OFF". I have played Game 30/with pondering on and over clocking to 472 Mhg and the charge went down about 20%. So I would not expect the Axim to last around 5 hours with procsssor going full speed for all 5 hours. For ordinary use, there is hardly a drain at on the Axim. They also have longer charge battery for about $60. That may be worth getting just for the benifit of having two batteries. My Ipaq and Palm did not have replaceable batteries - although I am sure they have versions that do now. > >Thanks buy the way for the huge responce on my last post you guyes are the best > > >Regards Jospeh
