Len,

I did this very same upgrade in January. The only problem I have had is that
I now have a 533 MHz Chip sitting around around that is of little or no
value. I noticed a very nice speed increase and it was worth the cost. The
biggest difference for me was in processor intensive apps such as Photoshop.
I also have Office X, and even that processor hog runs much much better.

The 533 is a 7410 Apple chipset and the 933 should be a 7455 chipset. I say
go for it. I'm hoping that it will carry me through the next year or so,
until I can afford a G5 or a DP G4 .

Good Luck,

Wade Perry
