Hmm, well A7N8X-E-DX goes down to 1.1V but that's still a touch much I
am sure.  The documentation said socket A compatible and athlon chipset
compatible.  I guess the required voltage would be easy to have added to
a board design had they thought the socket A would ever go that low in
voltage.

A quick search seems to indicate that the Shuttle AK37GTR does 1.0 to
1.85V VCORE.  Not sure if that is sufficient for it to run that CPU.
