When I could test this, I decided to "take the plunge". FOund this web page full of good info: http://criggie.dyndns.org/ncd/explora/

Just a note: I've seen some new G4 upgrades that are supposed to take a
Quicksilver to 2GHz. They were around $180 for dual CPU units I think.

I don't know how many different models they work on, and of course, it
won't speed up your FSB or other parts.

If I knew for sure it had good effect, I'd get a cheap G4 and do the CPU
upgrade.
