I've got an XLR8 CarrierZIF Adapter, which is a "Universal adapter for installing G3/G4 ZIF upgrades in PCI PowerMacs." I've been using it for a year and a half with a 266 mHz processor plugged into it, and I just recently upgraded to a G4 400 mHz processor that I picked up on ebay from DayStar for about $125. I see the cards and the processors there on Ebay in package deals for not too much. I'm very satisfied with mine. I was able to overclock the 266 mHz processor to 300 using the little toggle switches on the processor card and you can play with the cache speed using the software that comes with it. These cards are nice because you can just pop in the faster processors as they come down in price and become accessible to us common folk. I not versed in what to avoid, and this set up I have doesn't seem to have any limitations with OS 9.1 or any software/hardware that I have used. Other list members may have this info for you.
