1.55V on an Intel 930 considered too high?

[sindows]

I have a local seller selling this processor for a very low price but its been at 1.55V for most of its life...

Can I expect this thing to last me roughly a year?

yep. look at my sig (overclocked to 4.1Ghz) at 1.525.

There's no way to know ahead of time. The effects of added vcore are cumulative. But, just because my 930 lasted for 6 years at 1.55v, doesn't mean that yours will last two years, or even one at that same voltage. Of course, the chances are that it will last ~1 year, or longer. There are no guarantees in overclocking, though. Not in Ghz, and not in longevity.

QFT.

Also there are more chances that it will last longer if u used lower voltage, then again it could not. As far as i know the preslers are 65nm chips their stock voltage is bellow 1.4volts. If it was a 90nm chip i would prolly not worry too much, but that seems awfully high voltage for those chips.
