maybe, maybe not. I just got a new sony tj25 from bestbuy here in the us. for
about $160.00. It runs at 200mhz and I also purchased chessgenius 2.0. It is a
very strong combination. I have yet to win a single game at any time control !!
The unit has color and you can even turn off the back lighting to save energy I
also have turned ponder off and this helps save as well. I am very happy with it
and don't think I would need anything more powerful. hope this helps :)
