Yes, it will. I have the same system as you. I just installed a Dual G4/1.42GHz CPU daughter card in place of my Dual G4/1.25GHz card. The bonus for me is the Dual G4/1.42GHz CPU has twice as much L3 cache per CPU than my Dual G4/1.25GHz (2MB/CPU vs 1MB/CPU). It runs great, and I'm happy. Be sure you get a COPPER heatsink with the CPU daughter card. The copper heatsink runs about 10 degrees Celsius cooler than either of the aluminum models. Your CPU temps, with the copper heatsink, will go up about 5-6 degrees Celsius as compared to your Dual G4/1.25GHz CPU card. They will go up another 6-10 degrees Celsius if you run with an aluminum heatsink. Running temp at idle will be 58-60 degrees Celsius. A better after market main system fan can help with this, but will run you between $18.00-$30.00 for a good one.
