That being said, an excellent source of info on Macs (in particular the 
G3) is Accelerate your Mac. They have advice and reviews for all manner 
of mucking about with the innards of your machine. They even warn you 
most times if what you are about to do will kill your box. Their G3 
specific start page is:
