New intel Mac question

I have a Mac G5 that I bought about 18 months ago and I really enjoy it. However the new intel Macs have a lot of interest since there are some things I can't do with the power PC mac, and some things that are a pain. For example quicken for mac really doesn't compare to the windows version, so I am running a windows emulator to run quicken for windows, since I have over 13 years worth of data. It's slow as molasses, so running on native windows would keep my books a lot better up to date than the current method.
Is there any way to just replace the motherboard of my G5 to a newer intel motherboard?
Or alternatively, if i bought one of the new ones, how much from my old one could I incorporate into the new one? Hard drive? memory? I assume the video card was a unique one for power pc but I don't know for sure. OF course that means I can't sell the old one so I may not go that route.
Any help or advice is appreciated.
