I've been looking into upgrading my old Mac G4 QS 733. Im thinking a dual processsor upgrade would do the trick but I'm concerned about temp. stability and fan noise. My main goal is to support a DVD/CD-R/W drive, larger fromat ATA drives and to quicken application responses from graphic programs like photoshop and maya. Im also looking to up the video or graphics card from the current nVidia GeForce2 MX to something that can handle some decent games and rendering. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, burnside.

hmm i dont know if your nice mac g4 could handle all the upgrades, if i were you, id just either get a mac mini or just invest in another power mac g4, "you get what you pay for".
