Re: "More indication that Intel may be using a guard band as large as 12% . At overclockers.com, a Coppermine 733 running at 891MHz at 1.65V with stock fan and heatsink. 891/800 = 1.114. This was not shipped as 800MHz. 12% seems high but it is not out of the question for a new process at the very highest end." Whatever HE guardband Intel is using must work at low Vcc as well. Unless you can verify that it is running at the lowest rated Vcc then I don't believe your conclusion is warranted. EP
