yes finally its up and running not to mention unlocked. its running at 133x11.5 right now which = somewhere around 1.47 which is stock speed.
my dragon orb3 cooler sounds like a jet fan but its keepin my cpu at around 41-43. not to mentin i had to use some weird ass heatsink compound i bought from iei for 2.99

abit nf7-s motherboard
xp cpu -tbred.
256mb pc 2100 kingston (256 more is on the way for some dual channel)
leadtek gf4 ti 4400 (pulled out of my xp2800 system until wednesday where my built by ati radeon8500 comes
30.7gb maxtor hdd.

Weird thing happened, i was trying to boot it up for the first time and it wouldnt post.. i had a old savage 8mb agp videocard in there. so i opened up my xp2800 system and pulled the gf4 ti 4400 out and it posted first try. that was weird anyone know why nforce2 dosent like old savage videocards?? well owell dosent matter to me now.

last question does the built in lan slower then a normal 10/100 lan card. i got about the same when i took a speed test but it just seems like its taking longer to dl stuff on kazaa.

Most of your newer motherboards do not like 3.3v video cards, like your old Salvage chipset, and will refuse to post. Your newer Ti4400 is a 1.5v card.
