Upgrading a Mac Processor?...

Just curious if anyone has heard of (or done themselves) a cpu/ processor upgrade for an apple mac. I have an old G4 that is in solid shape that I'd hate to get rid of for pennies on the dollar.
As an alternate idea, maybe I can just upgrade this G4 processor to one of the new Intel-Core Duo processors. So...

ONE, is this even possible?...
TWO, if so, can anybody point me into the right direction?

Thank you!

Hi there,

You can update old G4s, but only to faster G4s as i understand it. This is teh best place for info.
