AGP Dual Compatibility for PPC or Intel based Macs by Brian Bellman
Determining dual processor compatibility with Power Mac G4 'Gigabit Ethernet'.
From OS X:
Download and run this utility. It will report the ASIC revision of the Uni-N and whether your machine is dual processor compatible.
Note: Macs® that have the proper UniNorth chip revision but have no chance of ever accepting a dual processor (such as Titanium PowerBooks®) will be shown as "Your Mac supports Dual Processor Upgrade." Therefore please use this utility only on Power Mac® G4s. Application courtesy macbidouille.com, the French equivalent of xlr8yourmac.com.
