Kash, >>>Paul is dead wrong on the 21.5% power increase. He is bullshitting again to make a stupid point. The power difference between a device operating at 2.2V vs 2.3V operating at the same frequency ie 450Mhz is less than 5% or basically irrelevant.<<< Paul's right. Power goes up with the square of the voltage. 2.3 squared is 5.29. 2.2 squared is 4.84. 5.29/4.84 equals 1.093. .093 represents a 9.3% increase. He even knocked off the .3%. Note that resistance is the other factor in power besides voltage here. It's the same for both voltages so it cancels out of the calculation. Tony
