what happens if i power a 3.3v DX2? Or if I extract the DX4 and install the DX2 without removing the DX4 voltage regulator from the mainboard? If it worked, would the DX2 heat less or would it break for some reason?

My 5V DX2s seem to be fine at 3.3V, and they run at much lower temperature that way, but I have not ran any actual stability tests with them to know for sure it'll be well tolerated.

My Intel DX2 SL CPUs will all run 3,3v without a problem, but the oldest ones (non SL) won't post at 3,3v.

The only thing that may hold you back in this, is stability. That's why most Intel DX2s are rated 5V. Underclocking hardware usually won't break anything.
