    The PIC that was are looking to use is the 18F2550. We don't need a many I/O, just a handful and a USB port. The only reason I could possibly think to use a faster oscillator is for better accuracy. Does it not make sense that to say an oscillator running at 4 MHz +/-50 ppm will be less accurate than one running at 20 MHz +/- 50 ppm due to multiplying less to achieve the same results?

    This is what i thought as well... but it's still divided down to 4MHz at the end... and you still have +/- 50 ppm at the end too.

    We already talked about that here a while back

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
