Looking at the specs, you're running it currently at 123MHz FSB, right? If the memory is running at 123MHz too, then there should be no problems with that, and the mobo should be able to do 133MHz too, no problems. Right now there's a couple of limiting factors. You could need to juice up the CPU voltage a bit. But that will also increase the heat load from the CPU, and you have mentioned before that the CPU is already running hot.
My advice would be some better cooling, in the form of a Thermalright SLK 800 or 900 with a good quality fan on top, like the ThermalTake Smartfan2, although I'm sure others would have other fan recommendations. This way, you can lower your temperatures and increase the voltage. You're running a pretty low voltage, and maybe 1.6V will help you get to 2.5GHz. But then again, maybe it won't. At least you'll have a CPU running cooler, and if you buy the right fan, quieter. Another HSF you may want to try is the Vantec Aeroflow. Good cooling, low noise. Always remember that when increasing VCore, do it in the smallest possible increment at a time, and test for stability using a stress program like Prime95. If there are any errors or re-boots, increase by another increment and try again. But if you're running 50C idle already, you're definately going to want to improve your cooling.
Out of curiousity, what kind of system temps are you getting, and what is the fan setup for the case you're running?
