the early G4s dont clock up that high your lucky to get a 150Mhz bump (50-100Mhz is the normal average). the highest clocked 7410 CPU upgrades iv seen topped out at 600Mhz. one of the 7450s big redesigns was a redone and deeper pipeline to let it clock faster then what the 7410 could manage (as well as the addition of on die L2 and L3 external cache and some other things) clock for clock a 7410 is actually faster then a 7450. (also the fastest you could clock a 7410 (if you had some GOOD clocker of a chip) on a clamshell is 668Mhz since 10x is the highest the 7410 supports) and finally not to mention the clamshells thermals, a Overclocked 7410 runs MUCH hotter then the PPC750L used in clamshells.
all in all your welcome to try but im just sort of bringing things back down to earth so to speak. (shame clamshells are expensive id like to get one my self and slap a G4 CPU on it like i did with my PowerBook G3 Pismo ) im also still looking for a cheap iMac G3 to try this on heh
