9800 Pro and nVidia BIOS settings

I just happily ordered my new system. I'm going to OC a 2500+ on a NF7-S motherboard, and added a Sapphire 9800 Pro OEM (at $212, couldn't resist).

This is my first nVidia board (I had two VIA boards previously). Are there any Radeon-specific BIOS settings I should be aware of? I don't want to accidentally disable something important due to ignorance. I'd like the video card to be as stable as possible during the overclocking process.

These will be my specs:

Athlon XP 2500+ Barton w/Vantec Aeroflow cooler
Abit NF7-S v2.0
Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro
512MB OCZ DDR PC-3200 Rev 2 RAM

Thanks.

My system's too embarrassed to tell you about itself.

p.s. I realize this could've been posted to the video overclocking area, but my question applies to general Radeon settings (non-OC) as well.<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by JuliusRex on 02/19/04 03:21 PM.</EM></FONT></P>
 
Nope, you should be fine.

I have an Nforce 2 based board and the 9800 pro, botgh work in together just fine and I can't think of any BIOS settings that you need to be specifically aware of.
