O/Cing old PII-266's on Micron computers

Curious if you can overclock at all with mainstream computers. My friend has an old Micron, 1997ish I think (Millennium Xku, something like that). It has a PII-266, and I think the computer is capable of installing a PII-333 - all on an LX motherboard. Around the same genre, I had a 440FX IWill motherboard, and could simply move a jumper from 266 to 300, and it worked fine, though I know there are limitations with buying from mainstream companies, and I'm assuming this is one of them.

Will his have anything like this? Is there any other way to try it? I have access to my original 266 that I know is capable of 300, so I could at least try that for reference. Isn't there a tomshardware trick to this?
