| 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. |
