Converting USB 1 to USB 2

I have a 400 mhz GR and a G3 iBook; each has a USB 1.0 port. Can I upgrade to USB 2.0? If so, how? What is the downside of upgrading? What is involved? Cost? Advice? Thankx.
 
Your USB 1.1 ports will be USB 1.1 forever -- you cannot upgrade those ports.

Your only option is to purchase a Mac-compatible USB 2.0 PCI card and install it in your system (if your system is a desktop "pro" model computer -- G4 tower machine, etc.).

On your G3 iBook, you're pretty much stuck with the USB 1.1 ports. There's no way to upgrade them, and there's really no expandability for USB ports built into the G3 iBook.

What is a "400mhz GR"?
