Hi,

plese don't write everything in caps, that's considered "shouting".

As to your question: The PII CPUs are multiplier locked, that means that you can it only overclock by increasing the front-side-bus (FSB).

Your PII 233 uses a FSB of 66 MHz, and the LX chipset supports 66 MHz. Anyway if your mainboard lets you increase the FSB, then you can try to overclock it. Just look into the manual for this.

If your mainboard doesn't let you increase the FSB, then you can't overclock it, but you can use PII 266, 300, 333, Celeron 266, 300, 300A, 333, 366, 400, 433. . up to 766 MHz in it.
