The only G4 to come with a single 450 MHz CPU is an "AGP Graphics".

With 10.4.11 you are at the end of the road for this Mac unless you  
waste real $$$ upgrading. I say waste because the cost of upgrading  
will leave you with a far less powerful Mac than buying another used  
or new Mac. If you're in the market, the new Mini should be coming out  
soon and should be a lot of "bang for the buck". Used Minis are good  
deals also if you have legacy PPC software and can't afford to make  
the Intel switch. You can use your old keyboard, mouse and display  
with a Mini which would give some sense of continuity.
