>My thought is that if you take a 20 MHz chip >and crank it >to 25 or 30, You would be better off using an 18F... series chip with a 10MHz crystal, and 4x PLL so it is running at 40MHz internally. This is a proper mode and means that it is running within spec, and not overclocked. You also get the wider range 18 series instructions and simplified memory model. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
