I've managed to somewhat attenuate the VRM issue on my P133 system, I have opened the case and put a small fan blowing directly on the offending VRM, it used to run a bit warm with a non-MMX Pentium but now it's relatively cold to the touch with a bit of airflow towards it.
So far the system has fired up just fine, report will follow once it has finished transferring SIV (long story short, since the P133 no longer has a NIC in it, I have to transfer files through a null-modem cable from the Omnibook to the P133, it's not a elegant solution but at least it works)
