Try this site, it's great: http://www.palmspot.com/

Download AfterBurner v2.2 (not the older version). I think you must have
a PalmIIIx or PalmV, but if you have another one you should try anyway.

Tips:

On my PalmIIIx the checkbox "preserve tick pace" crashes the device
(HotSync before you try!). The 2 other checkboxes alone (reducing wait
states without changing the clock speed) give a nice improvement.

My Palm is able to run without any problems (since 10 days) at 26MHz. It
runs 2.58 times faster now (evaluated with the freeware program
"BenchMark", you should download it too). The speedup is huge, you will
notice it instantly. I think no PC user can dream to overclock their
computer so heavily!

The power consumption, says an expert, is increased by not more than
15%. From what I see, it's correct. Hard to notice any change.

I would like to know if it works on yours too. Please keep me informed.
