Wallstreet upgrades
Awhile back I was considering upgrading the processor of my Wallstreet G3 PowerBook to a G4, but I decided against it because I believed the system BUS would stay at 66mhz and I wouldn't notice much of a difference.
Today I pulled the keyboard off to show my girlfriend how easy it will be to install more memory in her iBook and I noticed, or rather, re-noticed, that the processor, memory, and HD all connect to the daughtercard, which would be replaced in an upgrade. Does anyone know if this means I could get a faster BUS because of this? If so, what cards would you recommend?

Also, some machines can have their buses overclocked. A lot of people have overclocked their 500 MHz iBooks with 66 MHz buses to 600 MHz on a 100 MHz bus. I don't know if you can do that with the Wallstreet though.
On the other hand... there are two versions of the Wallstreet that use 83 MHz bus speeds. The 250 and 292 MHz versions have the faster bus speeds but I don't know if they throttle down to 66 MHz if you put them in a different Wallstreet or not.
