It is a 500MHz G4 that I originally had bought for my Beige G3. I  
bought it from XLR8 (when they were around). With the Beige it needed  
a Control Panel for the motherboard to recognize the Cache, etc. It  
just plugs and plays with the B&W G3.

No real issues, performance is what you would expect from a 500Mhz  
G4, not great, but very usable. I have a Gig of RAM stuffed in there,  
too.

However, I remember there being firmware that disabled upgrades, but  
that may have been on the early G4's.

XLR8yourmac.com will have more details.
