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.
