[G4] What is the performance on a G4 450 DP like?

[John Niven]

Try this for a start:

I recently aquired a 350MHz G4 single. My first
thought was perhaps a dual CPU up grade, but alas, it
turned out to be to older revision. But my research
led me to believe I wouldn't benefit from a dual much
as I mostly just browse, or use M$ Office, neither of
which are MP apps (apparently).

My only other reference point is a dual Pentuim Pro
200MHz machine I reinvigorated, with 1Gb of ram, and
some fast SCSI drives. That machine I keep for Win 2K,
and am constantly surprised at how snappy it feels. I
tried it with Linux (without smp kernal) and it became
a dog. So I guess with the right s/w multiprocessors
work.
