I am upgrading to:
Abit NF7-S rev2
DDR400 (PC3200)
AMD Athlon XP 3200+ "Barton" 400FSB 2.2Ghz

What do you think my overclocking capabilities would be?

How would I go about changing the BIOS settings to bring my CPU temps down a notch?

Any suggestions are very appreciated.

B4 you criticize a bigger man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, you're a mile away, and you have his shoes.

You'll be able to overclock a LOT higher with a 2500+ mobile & it's about 1/2 the price of a 3200+ desktop CPU. 2.5GHz is "normal" & many report hitting 2.6GHz+. And with the money you save on the CPU, you can invest in some PC3500 RAM (or better).
