My friend just got an old 486 dx2 intel running at 66mhz. He was wondering if there was any way to overclock this system. Thankx

Wow, that's an old system, alright.
There *may* be a way to overclock it, but then the only way to do so may involve swapping out a timing crystal, which simply isn't worth the effort for the reward involved.
If you're very, very lucky there may be multipliers listed on the motherboard, but since it is a 66MHz DX2, it may already be at the fastest available speed. It <i>is</i> possible that the motherboard may support a DX4 processor, and so have a setting for 100MHz, but it's not likely that it will, and even if it does you then have to hope that the processor can handle that OC.
Good luck. :)
