True it never had ADB and makes not much sense to run it with a G3 
(although you probably could, just nobody wanted to; but the other way 
around, i.e. according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Mac_G4 the 
first PCI only G4 PowerMac1,2 had a motherboard from a G3 Mac just with a 
G4 CPU). But the G4 AGP could have a 900 MHz or faster CPU via a CPU 
upgrade:
