Josh:

The 24FJ64GB002 that comes with the kit has an 8mHz internal osc. But it
also has a PLL and some dividers that can be user to increase the CPU
clock speed to a max of 32 mHz. I've not delved too far into the beast
yet, but it appears that the CPU instruction cycle requires 2 clock
cycles, unlike the 18F series which require 4. Thus a 32 mHz clock will
result in 32 mips. A 40 mHz 18F is only 10 mips.

It also comes with a 24HJ64GP502, a dsPIC 33FJ64MC802, and a
PIC32MX250F128B.
