OK, so it's a fact that the X5 being shipped recently has the 255 Proc (ie: C1 stepping); but can anyone confirm that the bus actually runs at 200Mhz? or was it just a drop in replacement of the old 250 chip with the board still running at the same 100Mhz bus?
Cheers.

It is a drop in replacement.
To my understanding it HAS the capability of running a 200 bus but since the Axim is not a 200 BUS device, it does not.
Intel designed it intentionaly as a drop in replacement so they can stop making the 250 and stay with the 255 line and still fulfilling their form factor and contracts with companies. This is an economic choice since they do not have to keep two CPUs manufacturing lines for basicially similar devices.
