Oh, those green programmers-investors... <Perhaps the CPU really does run 1.8 volts internally. Maybe Intel had to modify the voltage regulators in the Slot 1 package to allow the CPU to run on existing motherboards which don't support 1.8 volts.> There is nothing even close to "voltage regulators" inside Slot1 cartridges. The cartridge takes power from a secondary power converter on motherboards. Every P-II board uses an Intel-approved regulator that accepts 5-bit code and is capable to deliver anything from 1.6V to 2.8V. I think you are confusing the Slot1 with Alpha 21264 card that contains similar regulator but right on the card. P-III with 1.8V is a typical Intel-foil (tm EP?). Most of the Intel Supremacy Klan members got fooled by those foils.
