The cool thing is he actually was able to remove lag from several games, while everything else stayed the same (the games didn't speed up or anything weird)

That's CRAZY. And percentage-wise, that's an AMAZING overclock. That'd be like taking a 2.4C and hitting 5ghz on it, on air. Awesome.

That's so cool

I checked out the videos he has, and the lag is somewhat noticible (it'd be more if I was playing I'm sure

) but dissapeared when he OCd.

^ Roommate and I were thinking about doing that a couple days ago actually. This store around here sells them for $15 - wonder if it might be worth a try to see what I can do...

Found the instructions for it - going to pick one up this weekend and give it a whirl.

Broke one of the two pins that needed to be lifted up

There goes $15...

You can go that fast because the later Genesis' actually shipped with Motorola's later CPUs that were designed to run at 16 or more MHz because it simply cost too much to make the older ones at the speed that the Genesis design required. So they were essentially shipping P5 5.0s in a P4 2.4C mobo (to use your example).
