Is the multiplier unlocked? If not you need to unlock it with the pencil trick: http://www.athlonoc.com/unlocking.htm

I expect you're using the fsb to oc, in which case you won't get much higher, and you're already at 113MHz, the next setting being 115MHz - am I right? That's pretty damn high for a KT133 board, most become unstable around 110 - so you'll need to unlock the multiplier to go higher. If I'm wrong, post with a bit more info about multiplier/fsb settings, temps etc - I'm sure it'll go higher :-)
