I was wondering if anyone had one of the PL/iPT3's with the 1.2G Celerons yet, and if so:

Is the vcore voltage supplied to the cpu manually adjustable?

What are the overclocking possibilities with this setup?

And lastly, does anyone know when the 1.4G celeron is due, and if it would use the PL/iPT3 or if it would need a new powerleap slocket?

My current system is an Asus P2BS running a slocketed fcpga P3800/100 @ 896/112. It is one of the earlier hardware revisions, and the vcore voltage doesn't go below 1.8 volts. The default vcore for my chip is 1.6 volts, but even at 896 I haven't had any heat issues using only the standard heatsink/fan and with one extra small exhaust fan on the case.

If the powerleap 1.2G solution can be overclocked to 1.34G (running at my max 112Mhz fsb), then this is a worthwhile upgrade for me. If it can't be overclocked, however, I'll probably wait for the 1.4G solution, unless it's going to be 6 months.

Thanks, Mobius

Just noticed the manufacturers description mentions the cpu voltage is manually adjustable, but they don't give the voltage range.
