    Man that sucks. I am trying to get my HTPC to playback hddvd/bd and my laptop has just donated its Dothan for the purpose - and i think with 100-200 mhz more it would play smoothly.

    Funny thing is that it reaches its limit @ stock vcore, and it will not go one single mhz further with more juice. Never seen that on any chip before.

    I guess my laptop is will get its cpu back and my HTPC will soon be upgraded with a cheap Asrock mobo and an E4300.

    Had one like that before, a celeron 666MHz that could only do 750MHz whatever cooler or Voltage I slapped it with. After some months burning it in it went straight beyond 1GHz.

    Well this bios/mobo combo allows for vcore adjustments. Cpu-z verifies that vcore actually changes.
