Prescott Ready P4P800 Dlx

Hi folks,

Quick question if anyone knows... am considering a purchase of a 3.0eGhz
CPU. My board is an older, I guess, version of the P4P800 Dlx (Rev 1).
Noted that the voltages for the Prescott run lower than that standard P4
(ie. my current 2.4c).

When checking available core voltages I find that they began at 1.6v and
increase - where as the speck for the prescott is from 1.25 ~ 1.55v. Will
this board realistically support the prescott CPU as is currently claimed
when the very best that can occur is over-volting the CPU?

Not that I am saying 0.05v is the end of the world! It just seems with the
heat the core generates one would be better served to operate at the lowest
temp which works well rather than just above the highest supported.

Any info would be appreciated!

Thanks, Len

All revisions have the same supported set of processors.
