If the 9700 NP is like my 9500 Pro then it is "locked" and you previously needed a bios flash to unlock it. Now all you need to do is download and install
Riva Tuner and use their ATI unlocking script on your drivers before you install them (XP doesn't like you altering installed drivers). I unlocked mine that way and now she overclocks quite nicely. All the instructions are on the web site.
