Quoting the Toshiba Web page: 1.Voltage Regulator Supplied by VXI. P/N 656622-001. You can contact VXI at (503) 652-7300. That worked for me. The Toshiba Web page is: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/tais/csd/support/issues/97110022.htm I hope you got a heat sink / fan with the second P6, I tried running without, and it lasted about 5 minutes before crashing. A reboot showed only one CPU, until the second had cooled off. These things run HOT, I'm not going to try over-clocking without some major extra cooling.
