I bought the Radeon 9800 Pro that's in my QuickSilver 2002 off eBay
from this guy:

I bought it in July '06.  The fan was a little noisy for about the
first 30 seconds, but has been fine ever since, and I leave the
computer running 24/7.

I don't know the answer for your processor.  I would think that you
could use any processor that was available in a new QuickSilver or QS
2002, but I don't know that.  If I were to buy an aftermarket
processor I'd want a Sonnet, but I've never used one.
