* Does it really have sense to use FASTCPU 3.0 on my NR70V?
* Does the programs REALY run faster?.
* what's would be the 'optimal mhz' to configure in programs?
(does 99mhz (maxium) can lead to 'resets' or some problems running programs?).

I'm just questioning if I should install this programs.
Thanks in advance!!...

I have it installed, but I don't leave it on all the time. I have the 760c, and it bumps it up to a 55mhz processor (from 33). I'll turn it on when I'm using programs like File Manager, Kinoma, Streetfinder, my web browser, and other things that take a while to read from the stick. It does make the videos on Kinoma seem a lot smoother. The downside is that it chews up battery life pretty bad.

I'll also run it to turn down my processor to 22mhz (to save battery life) when doing simple things like reading ebooks, or if I'm getting low on batteries and I'm not going to be home for a while. It can go for hours and hours with it turned down to that and the backlight dimmed.

BTW, I don't experience any crashes or the like, but since you've already got a 66mhz processor, I'm not sure if it'll help. Maybe with the videos at least.
