[G4] Dual 450 Processors

[Roger Harris]

If you are running OSX the two 450s are more than 450. If the 
application is also dual processor aware you are even better off. You 
can also run a dual processor upgrade and be good to go. When these folk 
say it does not support accelerator cards they are referring to older 
non-G4s that are accelerated (beige PCI Macs and G3s). These older Macs 
have slower buses and do not have built-in USB and Firewire. You can 
check with the company to be sure.
