Abit KT7-Raid problems...

Ok, I just hooked up a deal for a Abit-KT7a Raid board and a 1ghz T-bird for 299 the other day. Now, im quite computer savvy, but this is my first AMD since the days of the K2's. My question is this... I have installed Win2k server fine. I did all the Microsoft Updates from the web including :SP1, all critical updates, IE 5.5 ect... Now, when I run the system, everything runs very stable. and realatively fast. Now, the first thing I did was go to AMD's website and downloaded the AGP fix. When I ran it, and rebooted my system froze. I wasnt able to boot safe, so I had to repair the installation. Once I repaired it, went to www.viahardware.com and downloaded the 4-in-1 patch. Installed that, and it froze again. So I reformatted, reinstalled Win2k Server, and installed Q3a so I could benchmark. When I look at the video driver, it is showing me Im using PCI for the video subsystem. SO it tells me that Im not using AGP. So, I installed the 4in1 patch again, and it freezes again. My question to you guys is there a certain order I should do this in? Is there times when you just shouldnt use the 4-in-1 patch? Iam also having problems with my SB live not playing anything (which may have to do with the posistion of my cards) and I have not installed the latest SBLive Driver (from creative's site). Anyone can help me out?! Id be stoked... thanks for your time.
