While one can never have enough speed, you dont need any more speed to
make Photo CD's or DVD's as far as I know. In fact DVD burners are pretty
slow.

I run OS X (10.2) on a 500 MHz PowerBook and it seems to work fine. 800
MHz should be fine. Processor cards dont "add" their speed together. You
will need to remove the 400MHz processor and put in a faster processor.
You should not need to change the memory.
