Looking for some advice...

I have a B&W G3. It originally a 400mhz system, but a few weeks ago, I upgraded it to a G3/500 with a cheap ZIF from IC-China. It is currently running Tiger.

Today, on a whim, I bid on and won a cheap G4/350 ZIF on eBay.

Now my conundrum... should I stay with the G3/500 or remove the firmware block and install the G4/350 in my B&W (probably overclocking it to 400mhz)? Obviously, I lose some raw speed if I go with the G4, but it seems like I might be better off in terms of sofware compatibility.

Thoughts?

John
