[G4] G4-450 DP upgrade

[Robert Hazelrigg]

According to MacAddict (Feb2004) Magazine you would benefit more from a 
RAM upgrade than a processor upgrade. The article also says anything 
more than a 1Gig of RAM is over kill.

I was thinking of getting the same 2 processors for my Sawtooth APG 
400. I got the Gig of RAM instead. So far I've only seen a modrate 
increase in speed. I'm toying between and upgrade or just wait until 
July for the New G5 3Gig MP.
