Elmer, I think the "1B" GHz PIII's are probably parts that pass 1 GHz but only at 1.76 volts. Might as well keep them as GHz parts with a higher and tighter voltage spec. Personally I think its a desperate move that may bite them in the end with higher failure rates. If OEM's can't sell the P3-1GHz systems, these parts will wind up in the DIY channel where users might be lulled to ignorance by the normally-automatic voltage setting of PIII's. If its a low volume OEM-only situation then its OK, like the 2.4v K6-233's AMD made for some OEM. Why don't they set the fuses for 1.75 volts? Well, I just noticed that ALL the cc0 steppings (cpuID=686) have 1.70 volt Vcc, so they are probably all hard-wired. That would explain why Intel customers need to override the voltage on these parts. Petz
