Asus A7V333

North Bridge: VIA KT333(CF)
South Bridge: VIA VT8235

lm_sensors reads that chipset. Actually, to tell you the truth I think
I have this Mobo at home! I'll see if I can get it to work. I have had
luck with it here at the office on several Intel's. On my Dell laptop
which lm_sensors doesn't support, I've found a way to read a file
in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/ that I don't recall off the top of my head.
More on this later after I get home......
