It's been a few months since I've installed some CPUs, and my brain has been flushed with Zelda the past month. . . but, I think the K6-2 550 had a multiplier of 6x. I wonder if your 533 uses the same? I also think I remember hearing the the K6-2 could use a 2x multiplier, and it would interpret as a 6x multiplier. I know the K6-2 board I worked on used the 2x multiplier, . . but I can't remember if it's the board that interprets it as 6x or the CPU. It can't hurt to try. I would test out the 2x setting.
