[G4] Dual processor upgrade

[Ernest Vincent Pons-Worley]

If you have a 1.25 GHz processor, upgrading to a dual processor won't 
get you much.  I was on a singe 400 MHz processor, so this approach 
worked for me.  I've read that OS X is optimized for two processors, 
but I've also read that only certain programs take full advantage of 
the 2 CPU configuration.  An example is Photoshop.

You're probably better off buying a new computer to tide you over to 
the Mac with the Intel Octium XIXVIII that is cooled with liquid 
nitrogen.
