Me doing that was to prove that VID in A64Info doesn't matter unless the person has it on auto, and yet it still doesn't matter. I have a CABYE 0543 Opteron 148, 1.4v VID (auto) and it did 3ghz stable with 1.45v. Many 1.35v VID (auto) Opterons can't do that.
So basically saying that that value really cannot be used to determine a better/worse chip. It's not concrete evidence.
