Scummie boy - Re: "Unless there is a specific stability or longevity issue associated with 2.3V, why should anyone care about the higher voltage on their desktop?" The issue is technology - and investment. AMD's technology is not keeping pace with Intel's - rendering it a poorer choice for investment. As for 2.3 volts - it will generate MORE heat from itself and the power supply that delivers the voltage, and it will be operating closer to the breakdown voltages of the oxides. Hence, it represents a reliability issue. Paul
