Mel, thanks for your reply. Sounds like I am out of luck :(. Maybe I
should consider something like a Quicksilver? How fast (or slow? so to
speak :) is a Quicksilver G4/800? I have an iBook G3 700 with 640MB RAM. I
wish to have something faster than it. From what I learned these coupole
of days, I think that the same logic board supports both single CPU module
and dual CPU module, is my understanding correct?

Thanks for any suggestion.
