It won't work.. sorry. well.. it'll work just fine in os 9.1 if that's ok with you

your best bet would be sell/send it back and get a single cpu upgrade 800-1.2ghz.. some of those 800mhz ones with 2mb l3 cache seem to be at a great price point.

Too much trouble. Sell it and buy a single 800mhz or better.

yea I am going to sell it as I got of off someone not from a dealer so I can't return it. It sucks cause it was brand new still covered under the 3 year waranty. Plus I realy want a dual so I will be looking for a new G4 I guess. thanks

do you want a dual just to have dual? I meen a G4-800 with 2mb of L3 will knock your socks off vs. what your using right now and will be about as fast as that dual 500

Yea I am now looking to trade or sell my dual for a single 800...I was just thinking that osx would be better with a dual..but I think a 800 would hold me over for some time....are powerlogics anygood? saw one cheap but hear they have sleep issues with the g4...also is it worth the extra 50.00 to get a sonnet vs a gigadesign? thanks much (the giga for 299 looks good)
