Please excuse the ignorance in the nature of my post.

However I am considering in buying an ipaq 1910 which is xscale200mhz. What I dont understand is whether I will be able to play all of the games designed for arm 206mhz devices. If I cannot use the arm based apps on the xscale device what kind of apps out there for 200mhz xscale?

and also If I can use the arm 206mhz apps on the ipaq1910, does that mean I will be able to use them on other Xscale 200mhz devices?

ok thats all, as I said excused the ignorance, I just want to be sure about what I am buying.

Thanks

Yes, all the ARM applications work, but you may find that the XScale is a little slower in certain operations, which does sometimes affect game performance. There are apps that do scale your processor to 300MHz, which you may or may not want to investigate.
