See this link to explain split voltage.
The two rules for success are:
1. Never tell them everything you know.

I believe that the "split voltage" you are referring to is the ability to set the I/O voltage and the Core voltage separately.
The Intel P54C processors like your 133MHz Pentium used a Core voltage of 3.5 volts. The I/O voltage was also 3.5 volts.
Therefore, the motherboard's voltage could be fixed at 3.5 volts.
The Intel P55C processors like your 233MHz Pentium MMX used a Core voltage of 2.8 volts and an I/O voltage of 3.5 volts.
Therefore you need to be able to set the Core voltage (VID) and the I/O voltage (VIO) to different voltages, hence "split voltage."
Since you indicated that your motherboard has a VRM (Voltage Regulator Module), I would assume that you can set the Core voltage to a lower value.
I can't say for sure because I don't know what motherboard or chipset you have.
If you need a more definite answer, post more information about your motherboard and I will try to help.
I need motherboard manufacturer, motherboard model number, and chipset type. I also need to know if you have the motherboard manual.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

Hi,
The only info that I have about my motherboard is the PBA and AA values written on it, no manuals.
Values are "PBA650296-501" and "AA654300-501"
The P133MHz chip I've got in has a reference of "SY022"
I've found this info about my machine too, but have no idea what it means. Make any sense?:
Memory information :
Memory Cache : 256K or 512K CELP module
Number of Slot : 2 Banks / 2 Slots Each EDO
Type of Memory : EDO SIMM (pairs)
Maximum Memory : 4 x 32MB = 128MB EDO SIMM
Processor Information :
Connection Type : Socket 7
Upgrade : Accepts Intel P6T OverDrive upgrade
Hard Drive information :
Maximum Hard drive : 8,4GB for each Hard Drive with latest bios
On-board information :
Chipset : Triton 82430
Video on-board : No
Sound on-board : No
All I want to do is stick in a P233MHz MMX !!!!
Thank you,
