Mate don't spend too much on it. Memory will only go out to 1.5GB maximum and CPU upgrades are very dear and it will still be a G4 at the end of the day. Maybe look at a faster graphics card, say an ATI Radeon 96500 or 9800 Mac Pro.

Very. Open her up, undo the single screw that holds the AGP graphics card in place and jiggle it out. To replace seat new card firmly, position screw slot and re-insert the screw. Depending on the card installed, some have a hook like arrangement on the rear od the card, that is the part furthermost from the back of the machine. Lift front of the car first and then move forward to disengage the hook.
