Tom,
My Dell X5 with 400 MHz (I think that's what you meant instead of hrtz)
has many programs on it.....I use if for everything.  I use Pocket
Informant, a favorite program for many, and it goes very, very slowly.
however, PRCT seems to work at a normal speed and I am grateful for
that.  I think that speed is the name of the game (also size of hard
drive) just like with big computers and a jump of 212 MHz on a PDA is
significant.  
 
Also, I think Dean mentioned something about the new Dells not being
compatible with his program, so do check first.

Subject: PDA- questions on upgrading


List,
I'm in the market to upgrade from my small Palm Pilot to a much larger
capacity unit. I'm looking at the new Dell PDAs. The question I have as
is with regard to hrtz speed. I'm trying to visualize (practically
speaking) the difference in performance of 400 hrtz vs 612 hrtz. In a
home computer with multifunctions occurring, the difference in
performance is a no-brainer. But on a handheld I trying to justify the
need for the additional speed. I guess if one were to be playing video
type clips it would be understandable. But I'm thinking of running
Reyburns RCT, along with my entire database.  I'm interested in those
using the Ipaqs and the likes who using their devices to the hilt. My
quandary is needed performance, quality of performance vs battery life
needed to support such a big platform. 
By the way the wave of PDAs are up to 612 hrtz with 128 mgs of memory.
Pretty impressive!
