Sonnet sells 800, 900, and 1GHz upgrades for your machine but they reduce the system bus from 100MHz to 66Mhz.
FastMac and OWC used to sell a G4/600MHz upgrade that keeps the 100MHz bus, but it's been discontinued. It was actually a 500MHz rated chip guaranteed for 600MHz. Mine's been running at 650MHz just fine for a couple years now.

To my knowledge, the system bus doesn't change from 100mhz with teh Sonnet upgrade. I've got a 1ghz G4 from them in a B&W, and I'm very satisfied with it.

Luckily XLR8 is still selling their 600/650MHz upgrade, and they've dropped the price to $179.
