Actually, I'm afraid your mistaken. What does wear out the processor
(proven fact, not just on the z80, but others as well), is OVERCLOCKING
the processor. Running it at speeds it was not ment to go at. I hardly
think you would know what effects replacing the capacitor would have, as
you earlier professed that you knew nothing about electronics before
turboing your calc.
