Today we're doing something I've always dreamed of - we're putting a Sonnet Encore G4 1Ghz ZIF upgrade into the Beige Beast! If all goes well, we should wind up with the fastest possible Beige G3. But can this ancient 1997 Power Macintosh really handle 1Ghz of PURPLE POWER? Let's find out!

I found this wonderful upgrade at the Apple Rescue of Denver: http://www.applerescueofdenver.com/
