You should consider 3 things before going into this:
1. You say, rightly so, that the beige has limitations elsewhere. This
is a good reason not to shoehorn in a G4.
2. Are you likely to use AltiVec enabled apps (OS X, Photoshop etc.), if
not don't bother - there's no point getting a G4 if you don't use
AltiVec, unless you buy it new of course and that's because the desktops
are all G4s!
3. The above considered, would selling the machine and buying a 733 G4
be cheaper than upgrading the existing machine?
