Setting 8Mhz clock speed on PIC16F684

Is it only external Xtals/resonators that throw the internal timing off?

no not at all.

the only time it fails is when DEFINE OSC does not match the real osc frequency.

Thanks again Richard.

So as long as I use DEFINE OSC X, PB knows and compensates for the change still giving the correct timings PAUSE etc?

Yes, That is correct. The PAUSE command is based on the OSC frequency. If you had an 4 Mhz. crystal connected and told PBP that the OSC was 8Mhz. the PAUSE command would give you 2 times the value entered into the PAUSE command.

Dave & Richard, thank you both for taking the time to reply, much appreciated.
