I don't think the pr233 (since it was produced on an older process)
overclocks well.  I bought one of the first ones out and it would *almost*
run stable at 200mhz, but not quite.  Some folks with newer ones have been
able to get them up to 225mhz.  The newer m2-300 I purchased works fine at
262.5 (3.5x75 - but ymmv).  The newer ones seem to be more overclockable.
Obviously the type of motherboard you have makes a big difference.  My
mtech r542 wouldn't even run the m2-300 at the rated 233mhz, the newer
super7 soyo runs it at the higher speed fine.... cpu's aren't overclocked
from the factory.  I'll be purchasing an m2-333 soon...i think it should
hit 280-290 mhz with some luck....
