Two big changes have happened in the Slot 1 world: Newer boards
and CPUs support faster FSB settings, and typicllay lower voltages.
Your 233 was probably designed to run with a 66 MHz FSB at a 3.5x
multiplier. It's possible that the newer motherboard interprets it
as requesting a 133 MHz FSB, and it won't do the resulting 466 MHz.
Your 233 may require a higher voltage to the CPU than the highest
the board can provide.
In my experience, Slot 1 motherboards that claim to support both
PII and PIII turn out to support only the earliest PIII models. I
can easily believe that a board that supports later PIIIs might, as a
consequence, fail to support older PIIs.
