Overclocking For Dummies

One of my pet machines (on which I'm typing now!) is an elderly Gateway 350Mhz Intel Pentium 2 running Win 98SE with 198Mb ram.
It's used for little more than general browsing, email etc which it does reasonably well.
However, it dislikes doing more than one thing at a time, for example streaming internet radio stutters when opening a programme file.
I'm guessing its running out of grunt too early, and so I wonder if it would be beneficial to try overclocking to get a little more horsepower out of it. If so, have any Ppruners successfully done it, and how?
