G4 400 AGP into a G3 B&W 350?

I have a problem with G3 B&W 350 rev1, I want to give to a friend. I installed a Seagate 120GB HD with 8Mb and the machine is crawling. what could the problem be?

I have a G4 400 AGP processor from a G4 400 (duh) can I install that processor into the G3 350 B&W ?

swing, and a miss...

1. The processor from the g4 will not fit in the B&W... the B&W was a zif processor, while the agp has a proprietary (im pretty sure) processor slot.

Which operating system is the B&W using? How much ram? So many factors can affect performance...

oops forgot the specs

It's a G3 350, 512mb ram, CD-RW Salvaged from an old LaCie external. I am installing 10.2 and that is when it started to slow to a crawl. When I boot in 9.2 when it dose boot it seems to be ok.

yea my buddy has a B&W 350 and he had 10.1 on it with 320 mb ram. very slow, i installed 10.3 by borowing the DVD drive from my computer and just hookin it up to his. boot time still isnt great but its better and to use it its faster. panther really is great! cant wait for tiger.
