Rich, Sorry for causing confusion about that "M5183"--this turns out to be the model number on most all of the G4 PowerMacs... (I had been confusing it with the "Order Number" all the time; a post in another thread "G4 identity" brought the light today.)
So, it’s definitely a Digital Audio with a 466MHz processor. Processors can be upgraded through a daughterboard, you can read here: http://www.everymac.com/upgrade_cards/by_system/powermac_g4_st.html How much they cost is a different matter: they start at about 200$ for a new one (1.6 GHz). However, there are other ways: I just bought a "broken PowerMac, for parts" with a Sonnet 1GHz processor inside, on ebay for about 50$. I’m now crossing my fingers that that processor will work in my Digital Audio.
