We know the draws of the Wii's voltage lines:
someone should really convert this to text
The question I have is this: does anyone have any concrete evidence to suggest we absolutely must power the 1v and 1.15v line separately?
Initially it was suggested that the different voltages were due to being used as a reference, however I've run the Wii off of a single 1.1v line, without any determinable problems. However, I have in no way, shape, or form, extensively tested this setup.
Going from what we know about the Gamecube, it powers both processors on a single 1.9v line; however it's been demonstrated that you can run them on as low as 1.5v for one, and 1.7v for the other, however inefficient that may actually be. I'm curious to know if the Wii is similarly flexible.
