seeking a hot upgrade solution, i ordered up a kg-7r and an ath 1700xp only to realize that the board is only rated for the 1600xp. does anyone have any imput on whether i can use the faster processor? presumably if the board is set up to easily overclock the proccesors it's rated for i may find settings i can use with the 1700 chip? any help greatly appreciated :)
