Although you seem to comment on this feature somewhat sarcastically Rolf
;-) It really is a Good Thing (tm). 

For example One of my friends commented that he was receving memory errora
etc from his machine and once he reduceed the voltage to his CPU
everything became OK.

So this is a good feature, if you are going to overclock you have to
increase the voltage..and what a better way than messing with those
jumpers and having the refrence book with you...
