Hi,
If you run your PII/333 at 83Mhz FSB, you'll also change the bus speed
for all your devices; slots,cache,ram, etc. to the new values
generated. This is the reason AMD's/Cyrix with bus speeds that are not
divisible by 33 tend to overclock 33Mhz devices into failure. Not to
mention what it may do to your processor. If I'm wrong I'm sure someone
will correct me.

good luck
