I dunno if everyone is aware here but the 1GHz (and maybe 900MHz??) Sonnet G4 ZIFs actually clock the main bus back from 100MHz to 66MHz, slowing it by 1/3rd, to get around a limitation of one of the controller chips on the B&W/Yikes Logic Board. This significantly impacts the effectiveness of the upgrade as speed gains on the CPU side are countered by relatively poor RAM performance and a slow main bus. Just thought I'd mention it - it made me forget the idea and look for a cheap G4/500 instead.
