Jeff Fox: <a cube function of voltage.>
(3.3/3.2)^3 = 1.0967, or LESS THAN 10% increase of your "wearout".
Who would care whether the CPU will last 20 or 18 years:
in any case it will be in trash in 2-3 years.

One more homegrown theorist, speaking of reputation.

Jeff, "current through insulator" - total double talk nonsense.
Tell me, what is Intel's warranty on its non-boxed processors?
Tell me, how many 3.5 volt Pentiums do you know of that failed due to gate oxide failure?

If the problem is current, you better worry about the Pentium II, which draws 30% more current AT THE SAME CLOCK SPEED as a K6.
