Overclocking is the process that makes your CPU run faster than it's
intended to be.
In general, you can overclock your system by setting jumper(s) on your
motherboard.
For example, if you have IntelDX2-50 which has a external bus speed at 25
MHz, you can set it to 33 MHz and you'll get a performance like
IntelDX2-66. Am5x86DX5-133 can usually be overclocked to 160 MHz. Pentium
can be overclocked also. The success of overclocking depends on many
factors such as the quality of your motherboard, you CPU and how to deal
with excessive heat production. Another thing, you may have successfully
overclocked your system to run on one operating system but not others
because different operating systems use your CPU in a different way. OS/2
system may have a success rate more than Win95 system for example. 

Hope this help.
