Is AMD going to come up with a new trade name for "codename" Morgan? Q10: Does the Mobile AMD Duron have AMD PowerNow!™ technology? A10: No. AMD PowerNow!™ technology is planned for our mobile processors, codenamed "Palomino" and "Morgan," scheduled for launch later in 2001. We're pleased that our manufacturing capabilities allow us to serve our customers by bringing a mobile processor to market based on the current desktop AMD processor. That implies that Morgan chips will be called something other than "mobile Duron." I hope that's a mistake and they meant to say: A10: "No, Mobile Duron does not yet* have PowerNow!™ technology, but it will when ..."* Perhaps the Austin equivalent of the "AXIA" stepping is the factor that resulted in enough additional frequency headroom to allow many Duron chips to reach 800 MHz on 1.4 volts.

When did this Q&A page appear on the AMD website? Low voltage Duron was a plan B. Looks like the Plan A (mobile Palomino) did slip a bit. Kap

Milo, Re: "The 1.4v operating voltage does make is sound like Morgan minus PowerNOW." Well, you made me curious about under-clocking my system. Now I know how to clear the CMOS! <g> At the moment, my Duron 750 is running at 1.49V (I set for lower but this is the reported value) so I don't think select Durons at 1.4V would be that unusual. Setting the Vc to 1.3 left me a little stranded as I couldn't reach the BIOS. Nice to have a second machine in the house to DL the manual (buried someplace about two weeks deep). This board (MSI KT7-Pro2-A) won't let me reduce the multiplier... too bad I killed my Asus A7V or I could have tried 600@1.4V. Off to reboot and return to 945MHz@1.81V. -PT
