[G4] Upgrade of old G4/400Mhz/OS X-Jaguar?

[Eric Hall]

I upgraded mine to a 1000mhz processor. It cost a little more then $200. If you like your G4, go ahead and upgrade it. If you absolutely must have top-of-the-line performance, by all means get a new intel Mac. For me, I really don't need it, and I like my G4. It suits my needs fine, and seems fast enough to me.

I'm a Windows XP user that just got an old Mac with the following specs:

     -     400Mhz processor
     -     running OS X 10.2/Jaguar?
     -     384 meg ram--expandable to 1.5 gig via 4 slots of PC100 SDRAM 
mem.
     -     10 gig drive--7 gig free

The machine seems to work fairly well--however it's frozen up on occasion, 
sometimes with the revolving "beach ball". Is this because of memory 
constraints or should I upgrade the OS to 10.3 or 10.4?

Can the processor be upgraded to a faster one via some third party solution? 
Are new Intel CPU boards available?

How do I connect to an Windows NTFS formatted USB external drive and read 
files off it?

Thanks!

are inbound from amazon.
