There is no way to find out at runtime what voltage variant of Dothan chip your machine has (VID#A,VID#B,VID# or VID#D). I became aware of that myself after creating a static table patch (which I can send you offlist if you wish although you risk running your chip at the wrong voltage unless you know which variant of Dothan chip your manufacturer has used). ~mc
