It may not be worth it. If you pick up a 400 mhz Pismo for ~$900-$1000, add a G4 card for $300, then fork out $300 or so for a expansion bay cdrw, you are into some real money. And you still haven't added the necessary ram and hard drive upgrades. And you'll never have a Quartz Extreme capable video card. I can't really make a strong argument for upgrading any older Powerbook, except that it's a lot of fun to pull stuff out and put new stuff in.
