I've got the same machine, I maxed out the memory a long time ago that made a big difference, later I installed a new faster hard drive & made that the start up drive, again that bumped up the speed quite a bit. But the thing that made my 733 quicksilver run like a new computer was installing OWC's 1500ghz 2 mb - L3 processor . It didn't take very long to install it & it was very well worth it. My QuickSilver now bench test's right on parr with my G5 iMac 1.6ghz. The best part is last November when our house was burglarized they took over $8,000.00 worth of stuff but they didn't bother with stealing my trusty old Quicksilver.
