Why did Intel put P3 450 default voltage @ 2.0v i have mine @ 1.55v???!!!???

[Carmine_Paterno]

@ 450mhz (100fsb) i can set my voltage down to 1.55v on my ABIT BF6! It is stable in windows, and everything. I tested it by running winamp, playing mp3's and having seti open and running, and playing quake3 arena for 45mins. Runs completely stable. I used to have Paint shop PRO 5 but when i formatted my hard drive i lost it. Does anyone have a program i can download that i can capture my screen with to prove it?

Right now i am running my chip (P3450) @ 566 @1.95v Stable quake3 and seti and winamp. I guess i will be hitting some major mhz soon.

This was all after i burned in for 18hours.

I am using stock heatsink but i switched the fan with a dual fan antec blower.I will post pics soon. I have the fans attached to a powersupply which i changed the voltage to 21v so it reaLLY BLOWS!!! @ 1.95 full load around 32C.

O yea by the way, the CODE on it is SL3CC

Until you can get the software to capture screenshots, do it the ol' fashoned way;

Hit the "print screen" key, click start, and open up MS paint. Click "edit", and then "paste".

Not the most high tech way of doing things, but still, quite effective.

ANDY!!!! You see this!!! I got me a p3 for 20bucks!

Runs great on my new BF6!!! Look at my new post for pics!

Excellent. Good to see you get a proper overclocking chip!!!!

$20.00 is one bargain indeed. And now you have a proper FSB and a proper amount of cache (even if slow).

I bet your P3 perfrmance is loads better than that Celly 700e by having your memory running synchronously and quickly.

Nice one.
