Dan, Some current infrastructure assurance concerns are related to increased seismic activity as a result of thermal expansion due to the current increase in average global temperature This doesn't seem very likely. The amount of energy involved in earthquakes is many orders of magnitude larger than any differences in surface energy due to global warming. Scumbria

OT Some current infrastructure assurance concerns are related to increased seismic activity as a result of thermal expansion due to the current increase in average global temperature Maybe you are getting confused with hurricane and storm damage. A few degrees change in the temperature of the atmosphere will have almost zero effect on the frequency or severity of earthquakes or volcanos. Tim

<font color=red>Intel has increased the core voltage of the Pentium III yet again, this time up to 1.75v in order to hit the 1.13GHz mark. If you remember the Pentium III needed a bump up to 1.70v in order to hit 933MHz as well as the 1GHz mark, this was a 3% increase in voltage over the original 1.65v specification and now the core gets another 3% increase in order to hit 1.13GHz. Most overclockers are already familiar with what Intel is doing here, they’re simply increasing the core voltage on the Pentium III in order to get higher yields on the CPUs. Of course when Intel or AMD do it they’re “increasing yield” but to us it’s commonly known as overclocking ;) anandtech.com Milo
