PowerLogix compatible with Tiger, should I upgrade?

I have a solid-as-a-rock Quicksilver G4 running at a cool 733mhz. Imagine my shock when I received Tiger and I couldn’t upgrade because I only had a CD drive! I didn’t think my computer was that old…which got me thinking, maybe I should upgrade the processor. Check out the news from Other World Computing (OWC). Anyone have luck with one of these?
