The right kind of G4 will go in there. Needs to be a ZIF socket. Forget about the G5 though. System bus on a beige would never keep up (not fast enough or wide enough). And they won't fit either.

Waragainstsleep is right. You can buy G4 500-1ghz or G3 1GHz upgrades for your G3. Keep in mind though that these CPU's are re-engineered to work in beige and blue G3 towers. A G5 will never run in that system.
The only factory G4 chips that will work are the ones in the PCI graphics G4 tower from 99. After these models Apple totally changed the CPU socket.
