What is the best Palm device for Hiarcs?T3 T5 or Lifedrive?

Post by Cubeman »

What device from Palm gives the best performance.I would imagine that it is one out of the Tungsten T3 or Tungsten T5 or the Lifedrive.The T3 has the older and slightly slower 400 mhz processor where as the T5 and Lifedrive have the newer 416 mhz processors.But is the memory allocation the same, and can the T3 be overclocked to be better than the T5 overclocked?Has anyone tested the differences?The reviews say that the T3 has poor battery life, but that does not matter to me as I am only concerned with straight speed performance.

There is not much in it, the T3 is slightly slower than the T5 but has more memory available for application use so the hash tables are bigger. In terms of Elo there is almost nothing between them.
