A: If you have some time-critical stuff that require greater speed that the 4MHz crystal can give, you should certainly go for 8MHz. Otherwise, it is (should be
) quite the same. The basic reason we introduced 8MHz on EasyPIC2 is to reduce the number of parts used in production. BTW, it works fine with 20MHz as well.You must take care about the clock frequency for which each example is compiled. Nowadays we deliver all the examples compiled to 8MHz, but you might still find some of them done for the 'good old' 4 MHz clock. Also, in some cases when compiler (mikroBasic /mikroPascal) crashes, it resets the device frequency back to 4MHz.
