The best reference for judging how far an overclock will work is:
http://www.cpudatabase.com
There is one overclock there with a 1.6A on a P4S333, that works at
140FSB, which takes the 1.6A to 2240MHz.
Looking at a couple of Google posts, there is a claim that the
motherboard has some memory upclocking options at 100MHz FSB clock
and a downclocking option at 133MHz FSB clock. With that memory,
is probably shouldn't be the limit in either case.
This post talks about using the VEN1 jumper:

"there is a jumper on the moboard to boost default (cold boot)
voltage 0.1v. once that is applied you can add more from the
bios. that should get you a little more from the chip."
Is your instability, an inability to get the computer to POST, or
is the computer crashing when Windows boots or you are playing a game ?
For more info on the P4S333, use the search engine on abxzone.com
There is a thread there called "P4S333 Setup and Tweaking Guide"
that might give you some hints.
