Dell XPS R450 has a bios the limits what CPUs you can put in it because the voltage regulator on the motherboard has limited capabilities.

staying as close to the power regulations as possible it runs 1.5 volts and runs pretty well you also might like to know that this mother board also runs 512mb the dell document for this mother board doesn’t even mention 512 simply because 256mb ram sticks didn’t exist back then, I haven’t tried any higher amounts of ram.
here it is all sandwiched together

It's pretty stable actually and I've only had it crash once or twice and it runs pretty well paired with a more recent pci graphics card. the newer gfx card didn't raise fps for WoW so much but seemed to run doom2 and halo smoothly how ever i think it's reaching it full potential with system memory at 512. any who here is the card
