What can i do to make my P133 faster.I have heard of overclocking,how can i
do this for my particular chip.Thanks for any help

look at your damn motherboard manual.. it will tell how to set for a faster
CPU speed. You change some jumpers, then hope your CPU doesn't burn up. No
manual? don't even think about it...
Try Tom's hardware page, (http://sysdoc.pair.com/), most of the
answers are there. I have a P133 as well and it looks like it is one
of the hardest chips to overclock. One solution appears to have a
mother board with a bus speed of 83Mhz. There is more to it than that
though. Check out the web site.

You may not have much success trying to overclock a P133. You do have
a couple of options to try though. You overclock a chip by changing
the jumper settings on your motherboard that control the bus speed and
clock multiplier of your cpu. Here are a couple of options you can
try:
1) Change your clock multiplier from 2 to 2.5. This will overclock
your cpu to a P166. I wouldn't bet money on this one working.
2) If your motherboard supports a bus speed of 75 mhz, change it.
This will overclock your cpu to a P150 with roughly a 10% higher
bus speed. If this works, it is probably your best option.
You'll know if it works based on whether or not you can run software
without locking up the computer. If it locks up on you just move the
jumpers back where they were.
You may also need to adjust your memory timings in the bios to make
the overclocking work, but if you have to slow down the memory too
much it negates any advantage you might have gained from overclocking.
One other thing - it doesn't help to overclock your cpu by lowering
the bus speed. By this I mean that you could try a 2.5X multiplier
with a 60 MHz bus speed to oc' your cpu to 150, but the lower 60 MHz
bus speed will keep the computer from performing any faster than it
did at 2X 66MHz.
This was a 2 minute explanation and I've probably left a lot out.
You can e-mail me if you have any more questions. You can also
do a net search for overclocking, there are a lot of web pages
devoted to the subject.
