It's much more reasonable to buy a 1.25Ghz PowerPC G4 processor
upgrade rather that the ones you see, because you don't know what

All the upgrade CPUs are made by standard Apple manufacturers.
Apple PPC architecture isn't like PC, it's not a free-for-all where
anyone can just make a compatible CPU. EVERY upgrade CPU for a PPC
Mac is a REAL PowerPC CPU, there are no others. Upgrade CPU cards
& modules by Sonnet, PowerLogix, NewerTech, m...@box, XLR8, etc. all
use REAL PPC CPUs.
There are only 6 brand name processors i ever trusted, and they were:
IBM
Intel
AMD
PowerPC
ARM
Motorola
Apple uses PPC CPUs made by Freescale also. There is no
manufacturer called "PowerPC", it's a brand name for a CPU
architecture, just like "Pentium".
Freescale IS the former Motorola chipmaking division that was spun
off four or five years ago. The Power PC chips are made right here
in Austin...
