It's just a power wasting conspiracy, isn't it? How come the VIA chipset let's Winnie's go to 0.8V. (I've been talking to a guy with same board as me A8V, and his Winnie is OK)

In case it's not obvious after all these months, the Venice does not really go below 1.1V. I have found a case where a guy (Rufus7) with a GA K8NF-9 has managed, but others complain that they can't. It appears unstable, anyway, and not worth doing.
