I am usually an intel guy, but I just picked up an athlon 1700 and a msi kt3 ultra2-c motherboard. I have a couple of questions, should the bois say I have a 1100 ghz? Ive messed around in the bois with overclocking although I dont know what is safe. so far the highest my cpu temp has gotten is 41c. HOw do I safley adjust the cpu speed in the bois? I have 3 case fans, whats your opinions, what is the fastest I can go without frying my cpu? I would really like it if someone hepled out that has the same setup. thanks guys, Bobby

The speed of an Athlon XP 1700 is 1470mhz (1.47ghz). That's 11 x 133fsb. But your FSB is set at 100mhz...11 x 100fsb = 1100mhz. All you gotta do is set your FSB to 133 & you're in business.
