With EIST disabled, there's much better low CPU voltage stability

On my second cMP² I couldn't get CPU voltage below 1.00625V to work and anything below 1.00000V would require a CMOS reset. Now that EIST is disabled, the opposite is true! That is, at CPU Host Freq of 150 (CPU at 900MHz) higher voltages (above 1.00000V) is unstable.

I now have it operational at CPU Voltage of 0.85000V and Host Freq at 150. Need more time to see if this setup is robust. It seems EIST's benefit of L2 cache down sizing (and resultant power savings) is not without penalties.
