In your BIOS what are the settings for cpu SPEED? I would think it could be done assuming your MB can produce enough voltage ( probably around 1.8V ) for the processor core . I wonder how hot this will be. I run a 1.2 @ 1.366 now and I require 2 fans alone for the CPU with my microstar MB. I assume with the die staying the same size and the clock increasing, the temperature will need to be abated quite a bit more. Unless the Palimino will have a smaller die in which case it would be cooler. Ed Ed
