First of all, you need good ram, capable of 133MHz minimum. Also, your video card needs to be able to hack at least 89MHz AGP speed. You'll also need better cooling, which can be anywhere from a Golden Orb to an Alpha, depending on budget. If you're all prepared with the proper components,then naturally we see if the CPU will run at 133MHz fsb. (933MHz) Go into the bios, set your bus frequency to 133MHZ, voltage to about 1.75 for starters. Be sure the AGP speed is set to 2/3, not 1/1. Disable speed error hold, save and exit.
Did it boot? If so, check for stability now. Get CPU stability test here. Watch your temps. If you can run that test for several hours without it freezing, then you might try rebooting at less voltage, 1.7 and finaly default of 1.65v. If not stable, come back up until you get it right. Keep in mind, not all CPUs will overclock to 933. If it does not, you might try 124MHz fsb for 868. GOod Luck! :D
