Update on T3 Speed Discrepancy

Last week I posted an article about the speed discrepancy between the Tungsten T3 and the Tungsten C. It now seems the problem has been identified by a couple of folks, and better yet, the solution found.

According to mobilevoodoo.com site, "T3 Optimizer corrects the processor speed loss problem with the Tungsten T3 PDA from PalmOne. The T3 is designed to run at 400 MHz, and after a reset it does just that, but as soon as you power it off and then back on, the processor appears to slow to approximately 75% of its original speed. This problem is easily verified by any benchmarking utility."

If you are interested in fixing the bug, check out the two free utility programs that would allow you to do it.

I prefer T3 optimizer since you can change its setting via the preference panel, but T3 bug fix from Clievideo also does its job well.
