[G4] Dual CPUs

[sr ferenczy]

the problem with the un-dual-capable sawtooths had to do with the Uni-N 
Apple ASCI chip revision.... (7 or above should be dual capable) this 
was due to the fact that these were pretty much the first dual machines 
apple was offering in the G3/G4 range,  since those first few machines, 
all revisions of Uni-N have been dual capable, so it should not really 
be a problem.
