After reading the tech documents on AMD's website, I noticed that they listed the nominal voltage on an XP 1900 at 1.5v. On my system, its set to 1.8. Should I be lowering it to 1.5? I don't overclock my cpu's and would like to extend the life of the cpu as much as possible.
\Thanks

I don't know what that's all about... unless something has changed, XP cpu's default at 1.75 Volts... I would not be worried at all running it at 1.8, unless you have completely crap cooling.
