Yup. Pioneer DVR-112D. Dual layer DVD drive, all you
would ever need for this machine. Do the Dragon Burn
software, too. A good deal for $10.

Absolutely not. Sounds like he's got a later model
Quicksilver or a MDD (mirrored drive door) G4, both of
which are very competent machines, even today. With
OS X 10.4 or higher, he'll be able to do just about
anything that can be tossed at him. The processor
upgrade would be a waste of money, unless he's
planning on some serious processor intensive stuff,
like video rendering.

If he's impatient and can get his hands on an external
optical firewire drive, he could go ahead and install
the newer OS. I did this on my Quicksilver to get
things going until my Pioneer DVD drive came in from
OWC.
