Likely of O/C and 533As are no longer being made (low supply, high demand).

most mobo's only go up to 8x multiplier.
stupid people think 8.5x+ chips won't work in 8x max board.
533's are almost always 100% ROCK solid at 1.65 at 800.

getting a 566 to 850 is much more chancy without extreme voltage.

CII 533's are great overclockers, and I beleive now out of production.
