What are you saying about ? (per il volgo: che c...o stai dicendo ?) 1. Costarica products (first digit = 0) are almost fully operable at 450 Mhz too, varying the Vcore from 2.0 to 2.3, depending on different PCB revisions; I'm very happy to confortably clock my Mendo @ 464 giving it only 2.0 V, from my Abit BH6. 2. No way to modify L2 Cache design to slow down processor or to make overclocking more difficult: base die design and characteristcs should be structurally modified, so the production process shoud be revised and costs would rise up, making the modify an economic nonsense.
