Vio voltage for Duron processor?

Hi, I just bought an Epox 8KTA2 mobo for my Duron 800. There's a jumper setting on the mobo that I don't understand and I can't find help in Epox's manual, web site or AMD's web site. The setting is for "CPU Vio Voltage", which I assume means input/output voltage. This setting is not the same as the core voltage, which I know should be 1.6v, and this is set by DIP switches. The jumpers have settings for 3.4v-3.75v in incriments of .5v. The mobo came with it set to 3.4v for safety reasons I assume.

Anyone know what I should set this to? I scoured AMD's web site and couldn't find anything to help me. I downloaded a bunch of .pdf docs from Epox and AMD and searched for "voltage", but nothing relevant came up.

Thanks for any info you can offer!
 
VIO Voltage is the voltage supplied to the AGP slot, PCI slots and DIMM slots. They all operate at a default voltage of 3.3 volts, although many manufacturers (such as ASUS) set their boards at a default voltage of 3.4 volts. Increasing VIO may help overclocking in some situations.
 
Thanks for the info. I wans't sure what the setting was for, I haven't finished putting the system together but I'll leave it at 3.4v.
 
If you want to get your FSB higher,bump it up to 3.5-3.7.

It doesn't always work on some boards, but it helps.
