If you're using the Axim PDA, then you would probably know about Dell offering X50/51 PDA users a chance to upgrade from WM2003SE to Windows Mobile 5.0. However, people have noted that this upgrade caused their units to run slower than the stock ones, not to mention the bugs that accompanied the upgrade.

Fortunately, a Russian coder/hacker with the handle MagLite_RUS has found a way to run Windows Mobile 6 on the X50 and 51. Those who have installed the upgrade have said that it makes the system run faster than those running Windows Mobile 5.0 as well as grants users the ability to run higher versions of Internet Explorer, Microsoft Office, and various other programs.

Before doing anything, keep in mind that the ROM will fail to run on anything other than the VGA version of the PDA. In addition to this, remember that this ROM could potentially brick your PDA if you make a mistake in installing it. For more on this, click on the Read link below.
