Can you access eBay from Brazil? Often, the easiest way to get parts for 
an older computer is to search on eBay. For instance, here is a listing 
for a 233 MHz G3 processor with a heat sink:

Unfortunately, unless you are skilled, the older iMacs are difficult to 
work on.

You could also purchase a used iMac (the entire computer, not just the 
processor), if you have enough money. In the US, the average price of an 
iMac is $1/MHz, in other words, a 300 MHz iMac would sell for about 
US$250-300 on eBay.

You might also be able to purchase an upgrade card for an iMac from a 
company like Sonnet. Sometimes, these can be more expensive than a whole 
used iMac:

Good luck!
