The best thing you could do to it would be to upgrade the video card. As a minimum I'd suggest a Geforce2 MX. Your CPU should run most games fine with a decent vid card. You might be able to O/C the CPU up to 900 if you're lucky (with a good heatsink etc), but anything more than that is very unlikely. You haven't mentioned how much RAM you have - but any less than 128mb would slow you down a bit in Win98.
