have you seen a post week 40 barton? they have a completely redisigned PCB. They cant be unlocked. I know a guy on another forum that took a sander and completely went though the layers, and none of the traces lead up to where the multis are conrolled.

Your NF7-S should be able to pull this easily. my weakest board does this speed. (I have tried 4 boards)

worst that happens is you fry the mobo and chip and a few things in the PCI/AGP slots. (Happened with an asus A7V133)

your worrying for nothing. you have a NF7-S rev2. As I said before, even the crappiest one I found did 221MHz.

I have a a7n8x (nforce 2), and my motherboard didn't support 400mhz, but after a bios updateit did, perhaps you can update your bios too, because if you don't your motherboard wont recognice the processor. And aren't the xp3000+ with a fsb of 333mhz?
