Another thing to consider is the difference in the thermal mass / time constant of a DIP package and the SO-8 package. The DIP will respond more slowly to temperature changes. It is not known how that might affect the oscillator disciplining algorithm. ---------------------------------------- _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live™ Hotmail®: Celebrate the moment with your favorite sports pics.
