I just got my Axim X5 Friday and so far I love it. I found this site, and saw the post for the Windows XP skin for PPX.

Well I read all the hype, and when I saw that XP skin, I thought "Yeah baby! That's for me!". So I spent the bucks to get the latest version and installed the XP skin. After quite a bit of finagling I actually had it working.

Personally, I didn't see what the big deal was. I thought it was cumbersome to use, and customizing it was a bigger pain than I personally wanted to get into. I deleted it after just a few hours when I noticed that my Ax was running a lot slower than it had been.

Now, that might be just the way I have my Ax configured:
Axim X5 400mhz
256 mb CF card
Other stuff not necessarily related to performance...

I am getting a 256 mb SD card this week, so p'raps I'll try it again. So far, however, I'm pretty satisfied with the normal setup. I would like to learn how to optimize memory usage so my Ax runs at its best, so if you have other ideas, thanks for sharing them.
