What type of processor in Axim 400Mhz

[jacky.serpenti]

Hello everybody,

I'm about to buy an Axim X5 400Mhz in Belgium.
I would like to know whether they are equiped with an intel Xscale 250 or Xscale 255 (200Mhz system bus) ?

Thanks in advance

I'm like 99% sure that brand new ones have the Xscale pxa255 processor in them.

If they are "new", then they have the PXA255.

You will get a 255 unless you buy a refurb (then, you can't be certain). Just so you know an axim w/ppc 2002 is running a 100 mhz fsb. The only way to have a 200 mgz fsb is to buy a brand new ax w/a 255 chip and running WM2003. I have a 250, oh, how I wish I had a 255!!!

Thanks everybody for your replies.
I finally managed to got somebody form dell on the support line and he confirmed that they are equiped with the Xscale 255.

I'll order right away.

The ROM upgrade does not change the processor that you have. The old axims came w/a PXA250 (what I have) that is capable of 100 mhz fsb. I think around april/may of this year they started sending new axims out w/a PXA 255 that is capable of 200 mhz fsb (to my knowlegde that is how WM2003 speeds up the axim).

Hope that clears everything up for you darkchild.
