i have a few links for what you are looking for. however, from what i have seen you will only be able to reach 1.1gig due to voltage limitations on your kt7. you can solve this problem by soldering a capacitor onto your motherboard, then you can squeeze another .2 volts out of your motherboard (if you are so inclined).

in terms of conecting the L1 ... all you need is a pencil and then connect the dots on the L1. Then you use the soft menu on your abit board to bump up the multiplier and the voltage on the board. don't worry it is easier to do than it sounds.

these links specifically refer to the duron processor since it was my most recent project (700mz@950mz) - but these sites will give you the information you need:

go to this site this should get you started

as to the voltage mod I did it and removed it without super cooling this is not necessary

my abit kt7 raid is unmodified
