undervolting

i have an athlon xp 1800 im running it at 1.65 volts instead of the default 1.75 will this do any harm 2 the processor??

I should not harm it.

But if it shows any sign of not being stable, then up the volts to at least 1.7

it wont harm it at all... the only possible problem is what Marlin1975 said about possible stability problems

the advantages are less heat and longer cpu lifespan
