The patch from any Vendor should work... Personally I prefer the

when I did the same upgrade.
I also used the patch from OWC in order to transplant Yikes! G4
processors to two of my B&W G3s. The Yikes! processors came from LEM.
No loss of speed (reduction in bus speed from 100 MHz to 66 MHz) when
using Yikes! processors.
The same patch is necessary no matter which ZIF is used (Apple or
third-party), as this patch removes a "block" which prevents the B&W
ROM from supporting a G4 (any G4).
Alas, although by two B&Ws now were effectively G4s, and could use
the then-new (to me) applications which required a G4, the G4-ed B&Ws
proved to be too slow for my needs, and I almost immediately
thereafter went to Digital Audio G4s, which I obtained as surplus
property from one of our nation's National Labs.
