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....
