There was a type of "overclocking" that was more of an art, and focused not so much on the hardware, as the software. Back then, people would optimize apps and services, that were likely never designed to work on hardware they were using.

A good example, I ran Windows ME, Windows 2000, and Windows XP, on a 486 DX Overdrive with only 100 MHz. I'd spend hours, changing settings, modifying commands, and eventually my system ran just as sooth as someone running the latest hardware at the time.

It truly was an art, and it sadly has been lost over time.
