IMHO, it seems to me you're asking too much from your G4.
Besides, I think a 9800 Pro would be overkill for that machine, the
processor/memory/bus would be a bottleneck in comparison.

Anyway, it could be the G4 power supply is not enough to sustain all those
peripherals.

If the problem is too much power request from the PSU, I don't think the
optical drive would change much. OTOH, the 2TB drive could make a
difference.
