It's much more reasonable to buy a 1.25Ghz PowerPC G4 processor upgrade rather that the ones you see, because you don't know what processors they are, and who knows what could be in them, if they are fast, and if they really are what they say they are.
All the upgrade CPUs are made by standard Apple manufacturers. Apple PPC architecture isn't like PC, it's not a free-for-all where anyone can just make a compatible CPU. EVERY upgrade CPU for a PPC Mac is a REAL PowerPC CPU, there are no others. Upgrade CPU cards & modules by Sonnet, PowerLogix, NewerTech, m...@box, XLR8, etc. all use REAL PPC CPUs.
There are only 6 brand name processors i ever trusted, and they were: IBM Intel AMD PowerPC ARM Motorola
Apple uses PPC CPUs made by Freescale also. There is no manufacturer called "PowerPC", it's a brand name for a CPU architecture, just like "Pentium".
