So who's running VIO 3.7 V?

So after some tweaks, my system seems to be OK with the 3.7 V setting (normal is 3.5 on mine). Previously my computer wouldn't shut down properly, but I suspect it was the memory.

That setting seems to have stabilized my V3 at 179-180 MHz (along with better cooling). Previously at that speed the card would only sometimes complete 3DMark2000 benchmark or demo. Now it's rock solid (but pushing it because it still freaks out at 185 MHz, regardless of cooling).

Strangely enough, my sound card (Live!) seems no longer to have dropouts, although that might be due to a mini-Alpha I stuck on it.

Does the VIO affect the PCI slots as well? I know it affects memory and AGP for sure, and I thought one other thing but I can't remember.
