The video rate of the Nintendo 64 console is controlled by the game. This means that if you run an NTSC game on a PAL console, it will display in 60Hz. However, there are no hardware mods to allow NTSC games to run on a PAL system without butchering two consoles in the process. The easiest way to run games in 60Hz on a PAL console is to buy a flashcart like the Everdrive 64 and run the NTSC versions. But this also comes with another problem. NTSC games will display in black and white or not at all through the standard PAL N64 video output. In order to overcome this the installation of an RGB mod is necessary. This in reality is a great solution. N64 consoles need RGB modding regardless and an Everdrive is cheaper than collecting for this system.
