Overclocking and MB optimization

Yo.  1.2GHz Tbird oc'd to 1.3 (so far) on an Abit KT7A.  Handselected RAM
oc'd to 166MHz.  Handselected Geforce 2 MX-treme oc'd to 187MHz (heatsinked
memory).  Five fans, total.  Good Q3A box. http://www.kcbeatdown.com/

If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.
