I bought my g4 from an guy but he didnt give me the system disk or the initialization disk, whatever is the name. Anyways, how can I get a copy of this disk for my G4 AGP Graphics.

I installed a Sonnet brand processor upgrade to make my 400MHz G4 
Gigabit Ethernet into a 1GHz machine. It was a simple remove and 
replace operation and the new processor showed up immediately in 
"About this Mac".

There was no need to install additional software or adapters. It only 
needed me to remove the heat sink, unscrew three screws, gently 
remove the old processor board, firmly seat the new one, put the 
screws back in, and attach the heat sink. Finished the installation 
in less than 5 minutes and was rebooted and working perfectly.

Just make sure that you purchase the upgrade processor for YOUR model 
G4. There are a couple of differences between the models that make it 
necessary to have the exact model upgrade to work properly.

Hope you can find the upgrade you need and I know you will enjoy the 
speed.
