[G4] G4 Processor Upgrade?

[Robert Hazelrigg]

Paul,

Thanks for the subjective. That is exactly what I'm interested in. 
Money isn't really the issue. I will never again buy a first generation 
Apple product of any kind. And so I'm waiting to buy a G5 until early 
next year. Speed on the other hand is. Yes Photoshop, iDVD, and others 
function however, I think my lawn has a faster CPU. I've seen a major 
increase in performance after adding a Gig of RAM but I still haven't 
met my need.

Oh yeah and as for the "women", I already have my share: wife and 2 
daughters.
