I dropped an OTW 466 G4 zif in my G3 MT, reset the jumpers and have had no problems since. Temps ran high according to Cache Profiler 1.5, until I closed the case! Now it runs at about 95F with no paste or any other intervention.
Enableing Altivec is an issue. It's hard to tell if it is actually working. I downloaded a demo called AltiVec Fractal Carbon, which builds a neat fractal very fast if Altivec is enabled. It's menu also tells you if it detects Altivec. I understand that OS X enables Altivec. Also, supposedly, reinstalling 9.2 does it. But under 9 I found that I needed the Altivec Enabler exxtension from Power Logic, free from their site. Your zif may come with directios for Altivec. Mine didn't. Also, Photoshop 5.5 requires some additional software, available free from their website, to allow Altivec to work with certain filters. You won't be disappointed.

I know there are some Beige specific issues related to G4 processors, I've already confirmed I don't have a Royal VRM, and I've obtained and installed a copy of XLR8 Mach Speed Control Panel, which I gather is generally recognised as the best piece of software for enabling the cache etc. Are there any other issues which I should be aware of relating to using a G4 processor in a Beige G3?
