OK, I give, what is the LM90 chip usually used for?  I understand that 
temp1 is its own temperature.  Though is that basically the only use of 
an lm90 chip?  To test one local and one remote temperature?

What have people used in real world examples for this chip?  Usually M/B 
temp and CPU temp?  I see that temp2 jumps with the CPU temperature, I'm 
going to assume it's correct as it matches the BIOS readings and I will 
label it as such.

Though the k8 temps measure each core.  And... They're off by a few 
degrees (12C in the above example) so which should I take as correct? 
None of the above examples have compute lines so they seem to be as raw 
as lm-sensors believes them to be.
