[G4] CPU upgrade/support

[sr ferenczy]

okay, i see it. but maybe you missed the big disclaimer at the bottom 
of that whole 3rd party section-

"NOTICE: All product information included in this guide is provided by 
the developer without any independent testing or verification by Apple 
Computer, Inc. Apple does not guarantee or warrant this information as 
accurate."


...i wouldnt think apple would be the one to support a 3rd party 
product, that is the job of the 3rd party.
