<<instead pushed IBM to up the clock rate on their G3s, possibly moving to a "G3.5" design (with longer pipelines) to push the clock rate even harder.>>

With some adventurous tinkering and a hefty cooling fan, you could try overclocking.

RUMOUR: Look for a sticker on the G3 motherboard that says something like: "Do not remove or you violate the warranty" I hear the answer is under the sticker.

Or you can Challenge the latest Pentium III to a race in the classic MacPlus running at 1Ghz:

violet.berkeley.edu

Of course it would have to be souped up and you will need a few parts:

5 feet of Duct Tape
1 Tube of Super Glue (Cyanoacrylate for those fellow chemists)
72 Keychains (30pin 256k SIMMs)
1 Dremel cutting tool

Once you are done with the modification you will need approximately 1L liquid Nitrogen/hour of up time. If you have an external 800k floppy
drive you will need an additional 0.2L LN2/hour.
