One note of clarification: If your Power Mac G4 came from Apple as a dual processor machine, it has a single card with two processors on it. This dual CPU card is removed and the MAXPower G4 card replaces the Apple card and *both* CPUs. It is not possible to install two MAXPower G4 cards to replace the two processors in your machine; only one card is required.
