Incidentally, the reason I changed the voltage was because my systemwas
locking up SOLID. Since I dropped the voltage, I have not experienced a
lockup. Once thing that's weird, however is that I have a SuperMicro P5STE
board at it supplies a NONCHANGEABLE 3.5V voltageto the I/O CORE; the MMX
stats says 3.3V (with a max 3.6V tolerance) This seems that this is bad,
no ? :)
