[G4] Which PowerMac

[CJ Scaminaci]

A processor upgrade would be useful to you. Photoshop is very processor 
intensive. If I'm not mistaken I remember not being able to use dual 
processor upgrades in my Sawtooth because there is some chip that locks 
it out. I can't seem to remember what though...But I doubt you would 
benefit from DP's. Because DP's work by alternating which processes go 
on which processors.
