Since the prices on MDD(Mirrored Drive Door) G4s is almost the same as
a quicksilver now, I'd get a MDD. Any stock MDD is already way faster
than any maxed out Yikes. If you choose the right one, the stock MDD
will blow away virtually any upgraded Quicksilver

I didn't mean that a Quicksilver was inordinately slow but right out
of the box a MDD has certain advantages that you'll never get no
matter how much you upgrade a Quicksilver. 167mhz bus speed, faster
RAM and more RAM are just 3 of them. Start with a faster machine and
if you feel like upgrading,

I'm not a Yikes expert, but my understanding is that a Yikes is almost
identical to a late BW G3, and when you upgrade the CPU to 1 GHz

I think anything you spend on this machine would automatically be more
than its worth. A Quicksilver 2002 would be a far superior investment,
since it supports large PATA drives out of the box.
QS 2002s are great machines.
Also QS 2001s and DAs.
For some of the later G4s it is NOT required
