I'm afriad you're mistaken, turboing the calc with a 1pf capacitor has
most certainly _NOT_ been proven to shorten the life of the processor.
Most people who have turboed with this method and later documented their
methods, have said that they have been using it for 2 or more years, and
had no problems at all. What does wear out the processor
(theoretically) is turboing it by removing the capacitor and leaving no
capacitor in it's place.
