How can I improve my CPU?

I have a pentium 2 with Windows98, and I need at least 350mhz to play most of my games, but when I analyzed my CPU it said there's only 334. How can I get it to 350 or more?
Derek Overclocking is a tricky game. If you have not done it before, I would reconsider. 16MHZ is not enough difference to worry about. And you could probably buy a new processor for a reasonable amount.
Good Luck LT

Well I don't know how to actually overclock. I'm using my computer mainly for gaming anyway. As with a new system, I'm thinking Alienware. Any help overclocking would be appreciated.

Like I said, try the Overclocking forum (see left of this page towards top). They specialise in this and should be able to provide all the do's and dont's so that you don't fry your processor.
It's not my scene but I gather it can be done successfully. Condsider the other idea of an upgraded processor too (LT's suggestion).
