There are basically two: 1) the 100 MHz bus G4 (Gigabit Ethernet, and earlier models), and 2) the 133 MHz bus G4 (Digital Audio, and later models). (I have NO "mirror drive door" G4s, so I cannot voice an opinion on those). The best upgrade is probably the Giga-Designs. However, those are hard to come by, OWC has an upgrade which is basically a Giga-Designs processor, but is comes with OWC's warranty, and it DOES NOT support over-clocking. The true Giga-Designs processor, purchased from them, DOES support over-clocking. The Giga-Designs upgrade is nice in that it can be set by jumpers for either a 100 MHz bus or a 133 MHz bus, and it accepts both the 100 MHz processor position or the 133 MHz processor position (each are quite different), and the cooling system is designed for both, and is user-adjustable for both. Whichever ... The only chips being made these days are 1.4 GHz G4s, and any processor upgrades, whether from Giga-Designs, or OWC, or others, are simply 1.4 GHz chips which are being over-clocked, but are guaranteed by the seller to work at 1.5 or 1.6 or 1.<whatever> GHz.
