I'm using the XLR8 G4/500 in my B&W and have no horrorstories. It came with a cd with the firmware-upgrade and software to manipulate the cache-speed. I'm still using the original passive cooler that came with the g3. It replaced a g3/400 and the speed-increase was noticable, check xlr8yourmac for benchmarks. But i'm using iDVD alot so you do need a G4 for that.

Folks,
Looking for any one with experience with an XLR8 G4 ZIF MachSpeed upgrade in there G3 B&W. I understand I will need a BIOS hack. My current G3 is a 400. I am looking at a G4-400. I do not run any apps that take advantage of the Alti-Vec engine. I do use iTunes, Mac Office X, Safari and Mail. If the OS X interface is speeded up considerable it would be worth my while.
Any Horror stories???
Brian
I've had nothing but good luck with mine, also.
