Hey everybody, new user here with a question:

I was recently given a Mac tower described as a "G3 with G4 guts." The About window says 540Mhz which seems low for this day and age :). I'd like to get it up to at least 1 Ghz. Is this something I (with decent technical skill but no specific computer mechanics knowledge) can do myself? What types of processors should I look at? Are there Apple/PC specific processors or will any work? Price range and good vendors if you know 'em...
ANY help will help.

I look forward to gaining a lot of knowledge from this community...

Thanks !

OS X v 10.4.11
450 MHz PowerPC G4
768 MB SDRAM
Mac HD
