There's no unlocking to do in an Intel CPU after the earliest Pentium IIs. The only way to overclock is on the Front side bus. You have a 533, so the front side bus is 133 MHz. More likely than not, you will do this by going into the BIOS, and changing the CPU or front side bus clock from 133 to a higher figure; these will vary depending on which motherboard you have. BTW, what do you have, anyway?
