5 Volts or 12 For the P4 NW's

[RickShelton]

I know amd's rely on the 5 volt rail for stablity, so what about the P4's? I heard they rely on the 12 volt rail more.
True or bs?
Thanks

Well...I think it is true. I have been doing a lot of research on the P4 and found out the other day that you need a special 12v 4 pin plug on your power supply that connects to the mobo in order to supply the needed voltage for the P4. I realize this probably doesn't answer your quesiton, but hope it helps.

I cant honestly say, but, If you post this question in "Intel CPU's" you will get an accurate answer from the people who know this stuff well..
