re : BTW, I'm not an idiot. well you are slightly dementing tough....:P you posted your name TWICE under your last message :) Being serious again, intel allready raised the voltage from 1.8 to 2.0, because they were bright enough to see that their p3 core would run on 450 and 500, but not 550 and a possibly higher with 1.8v...in case they had to add another speedgrade (wich they did...600..) AMD did not have that luxery, or should I say wasn't smart enough, and made a scandal by raising the voltage in the middle of their process...intel did it on forehand, and nobody makes a fuss. But you know it just as good as I do... Furthermore I dont think that the k6 design should have been pushed any further than 333-350 MHz, but AMD did not have much choice at the time.
