Ummm, no.  The early steppings of the PPro (the 150's) ran at a 3.1V core
voltage, the later ones run at 3.3V except for the SL245,247,254 & 255,
which run at 3.5V. (Oh, and of course the 1 Meg Cache versions run at
split-rail core voltages of 3.3V/3.2V)

the T-case value in the intel Spec reads  0-85 C, by the way, (except for
the 1M version which is  0 - 80 C)

Intel Document order # on this thing is 242689-035
