Is that the right serial number?  Apple's website doesn't recognize it.

Anyway, according to these specs, your G4 wasn't available from the
factory with dual processors:

That doesn't mean your Mac can't use dual processors from another
model, but I don't know.  You can certainly use aftermarket dual
processors from companies like Sonnet and Powerlogix.
http://macsales.com/ is a good place to start looking, though there
are other good sources.
