I don't think that this is possible, but I want to be sure. Is there anyway to overclock a sawtooth G4? I thought that apple wised up to this and made some modifications that prevented it, but I'm not sure....Any insight??

It requires some precision soldering skills but, yes, it is very possible.
My G4 DP500 has been running at 548 MHz for the last month.

Overclocking a G4350 seems like a bad idea. Remember, the only reason that Apple even made 350s was because they had problems getting processors running at high speeds. I would imagine that the processors running at 350 right now wont run successfully at any higher speeds given the situation they were released in. Just my opinion though.
