Hi,
sorry for the sighly off-topic question, but I don't know where to find
this kind of information ...
I have a dual-PIII on which processes occasionally core dump while doing
a ./build.sh -j4.
mbmon reports the following values, and I wonder if they're out of range
or not. I find the +5V and +12V a bit low.

While idle:
Vcore = 1.79, 1.76; Volt. = 3.32, 5.00, 11.65,   0.00,  0.00

with both CPU running a while(1):
Vcore = 1.74, 1.72; Volt. = 3.29, 4.91, 11.83,   0.00,  0.00

Runnig a tar cf from local disk to /dev/null in addition to the 2 while(1):
Vcore = 1.74, 1.70; Volt. = 3.29, 4.88, 11.83,   0.00,  0.00

I should probably get the real values with a voltmeter, but I'd like to
also know the range of acceptable values.
