Some datasheets do not specify operating current with PIC running at different frequencies. There are many other factors that need to be taken into account, as well. Sometimes I ask such open-ended questions just to get a second opinion. Although of course I try to remember to explain that I'm asking the question not because I'm too lazy to look it up, but rather because I'm seeking illuminating insights. :) Vitaliy -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
