Processor
Is it possible to exchange the Processors from a Logic Board that has a 500MHz Processor on it with a 700MHz Processor
Is this a good question?

Hi! Unfortunately, no, it's not possible, because the processors are not plug-and-play, and are instead connected directly to the logic boards. It may be possible if you are an expert at soldering, but even then it would be a very involved and risky procedure, likely ending in the boards being destroyed and unusable.
Considering iBook G3 parts machines can be had for $20 these days, I'd go that route in order to get a faster board.

Ok thanks the reason why I was asking is because I have the Graphics issue on the 700MHz on that I have and so far nothing is working to fix it

I hear ya. Unfortunately there is really no permanent fix for the iBook G3 video issue. Coleen Thompson (one of the people who answers questions on this site) posted a link to an eBayer who does soldering to fix the issue, and he may do a good job, but generally soldering of this sort comes undone eventually, and you can practically buy a working replacement machine or at least a working board for the cost of the procedure.
