I have the 733EB pocessor too but on a VIA 133A chipset.
The only way U can overclock it is to upperthe FSB because the multiper is locked @ 5,5 at this chip (5,5*133=733) so FSB adjustment is your only choise. I have mine FSB on 146 and that make the processor run @ 803mhz (no big overclock)
U can change the FSB by going in to your BIOS and from there change the FSB(a little every time) to see if your processor boot on the higher FSB, if it do that U can try to upper it a little more. If it won't boot anylonger u can clear the coms settings by short out some pins on your motherboard, se your motherboard manual. Then set it att the highest setting U booted up fine with. If U don't have a Intel original motherboard, if u have U can't overclock.
Hope this help.:)
