Yes it will, not using 4mhz osc.
Should I just be using a larger pic with enough I/O to handle three 7-segment displays or is the dedicated driver the way to go?

Thanks all,

Depends how much flicker you can tolerate, I have found using PIC that way either I got too much flicker or the displays were too dim. There are numerous examples on this forum, try some of them and draw your own conclusion, your opinion is really the only one that matters in your project anyway.
