[G4] [Help] PowerMac G4 Quicksilver 800MHz on PowerMac G4 AGP Graphics, it works?

[Francisco]

Hi John!
About dual processors, i think that it works, 'cause
i've been checked for a Update board from sonnettech
(dual processor), and sonnet says (by email) that my
machine is compatible with dual processors without
firmware flashs or something else...
About yout tips, yep! i have 1GB of RAM, but not a
powerful video card...
my processor is 500Mhz (single, i think) and i have a
120gb with 7.200rpm hard disk :)

I agree! but it's my first mac, i think i'm a little
excitate with this! :-D

 Anyway! thanks by your help, and i think i'll buy a
newer mac to enjoy the maximum that a mac can offer :)


Regards
Francisco
