CPU voltages: correction
In an article in the March issue of the Help Screen (Intel or not? p150), Roy Chambers makes a very serious error in the table of processors. Intel Pentium MMX CPUs are listed as using a core voltage of 2.9 rather than the correct 2.8 volts. I hope that none of your readers will follow this and fry their CPUs. û Tarik Sedlarevic Neville Clarkson adds: Ouch! We got it wrong, and thank you, Tarik, for putting us right. Fortunately, Pentium MMX processors are robust enough to withstand 2.9 volts, so this error in itself won't zap anyone's CPU.
