I do have to agree with you that because the fact that high end G4 ZIF upgrades are still rather expensive makes you wonder if you should not just go for a 600Mhz G4 or 1Ghz G3 if any CPU upgrade at all. Though, even a 500Mhz G4 or even 600Mhz G3 would help considerably over the stock CPU.
Just the fact that there is a bus speed reduction alone can hurt, the prices of the upgrades are akin to salt in one's wounds.
Yes, with all G3 CPUs of any speed and G4 upgrades less than 700Mhz.http://www.ehmac.ca/anything-mac/46292-larger-yikes-g4-heatsink-4-clip-version-b-w-g3-2.html#post474740
