Not all upgrades work in all Macs.

ie an upgrade that works in a Mac that uses AGP graphics won't
necessarily work in a Mac that's restricted to PCI graphics.

To be really specific, I have a PCI graphics graphite G4 will work with
the Sonnet Encore/ZIF G4 CPU upgrades (500MHz & 1GHz), but won't work
with the Sonnet Encore/ST G4 CPU upgrades (1GHz -> 1.8GHz).
