Here is my setup,
NF7-S 2.0 Bios v6.00PG
AMD ATHLON XP 2500+ (AXDA2500DKV4D AQXEA)
2 x OCZ EL DDR PC-3700 / 466mhz / Gold Edition
Radeon 9600PRO
Levicom 350W PSU
2 x Maxtor Diamond 120G on Riad 0
SLk800 with Smart Fan 2
Temp on Stock
CPU 34 cel
Right Im ready to overclock this baby now. I've dropped the multiplier to 5 from 11. (following advise from various guides)
Then I increased the multiplier in 5mhz increments testing with Prime 95 each time, do I use the torture test or just the benchmark? If its the torture test each time I will be here for years, please advise.
I have left the Memory timings on optimal, 8-3-3-2.5
The PCI bus is locked on these boards so I do not need to worry? i think? same with the AGP slot.
So far I have hit 190 FSB, testing with prime 95 each time,
What do you think people so far so good? any opinions welcome,
Am I going the right way? Do I have to use Prime 95 each time?
When shall I start to increase the Voltage?

YES. However note that NF7 v1.x and v2.0 use very different BIOS files so be sure you get the right one (took Abit ages to imform people of this). I find the US site is best but choice is yours.
There's only a few 'incorrect' ways to o/c...
