AMD core/io voltage spec list: Quick question... quick answer

Where can I find info on what the recomended/official core and i/o voltage settings should be for AMD's Thunderbirds? I know I'm a moron, but I can't find this myself. A simple list of clock speeds and voltages would be the best. My 800Mhz Thunderbird is currently at 1.78 core, and 3.38 i/o, on...

VIA on-board sound

I recently bought a EPoX EP-8KTA2 motherboard, which also has the onboard VIA PC97 audio. My plan all along was to disable it from the start and get a Live! Value, but then I decided to at least TRY it first. I must say it's much better than I thought! I have had absolutely no problems with...

Any reasons for a Radeon...

Whoa! I was just about to open up a Radeon thread and then this one opened up. I also have a Viewsonic A90, and am trying to choose between a Radeon and a GeForce2MX. I'd rather the Radeon since it has awesome 2d and pretty much the best video/dvd support of any card out there. My main worry is...
