Spokeshave -

I spoke with my contact in Intel got a clarification on the Vcc_max specification. For the 3.06GHz P4 with a VID of 1.55 the Vcc_max spec is 1.425 Volts. Clearly there is confusion and the key to clearing it up is to look at table 2-7 labled Vcc Static and Transient Tolerance. For an Icc_max of 65A, the Max Tolerance is -0.124Volts. When you subtract this from the VID=1.55V you get 1.426V which is in agreement with the other 2 references to Vcc_max of 1.425.

Hope this clears(?) it up.
