iMac G4 CPU upgrade?

[moosepiss]

Hi,

I have an 800Mhz 17" iMac. In the short time that I've had it, I've watched apple release 1Ghz and 1.4Ghz versions of it .... DOH!

I see processor upgrades for Power Macs in the latest Macworld. I'm now wondering if a CPU upgrade (800Mhz -> 1.4Ghz) is at all possible.

Can it be done? Where would I buy a CPU?

Thx

It's very difficult to upgrade much more than RAM in a closed machine like the iMac (well, like anything except the Powermac line). You can try, but I doubt you'd have much success. You could try overclocking your processor, but this is a risky course of action.
