Can I upgrade the G3 processor in my iMac DV SE to a G4? Is the
processor hard wired into the logic board? Is it a ZIF type
processor?

Yes. Yes. No.
To learn more about how I upgraded my iMac DV SE 400 to a G4/550, go
here: http://www.fastmac.com/ProductPage/g4slimacup.html
Fastmac did a very nice job with the cpu switch -- I couldn't even
tell they had desoldered and soldered. Don't expect a blazing speed
improvement, unless you're using programs that require the G4's
Altivec capabilities. But there is a nice, noticeable overall speed
boost as might be expected from a faster processor.
