JDN,

re:"overclocking"

I think this is grossly innacurate.

Both AMD and Intel tend to be conservative with Vcc as a new process is introduced.

Once they have production history they usually tighten the guardband and run additional reliabilty tests and monitors.

As an example the PIII 600 katmai was a higher voltage than its predecessors.

I suspect that BOTH AMD and Intel will raise Vcc to increase bin splits.

Your allegation that this is improper and similar to the the current crop of overclockers is mistaken.

regards,

Kash

I understand AMD reached 1 gb by overclocking the computer.

Intel did this with PIII-600.
