[G4] Re: Sawtooth Upgrades?

[bofus?]

hi,

	I have a g4 sawtooth agp w/a giga designs GC5A-1250-D2 
running at 1.3 ghz

	http://gigadesigns.com/products.html

	they've changed their numbering system since I got mine but 
it's like a m5-1214g (single processor). it runs like a champ w/no 
issues at all, very happening and crashless. it has a 2mb l3 cache.
