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.
