<< I think that by far, the easiest way to find out if you have a rev 1 or a 
rev 2 sawtooth is to look at the PS and see if you can find the wattage.  237 
is rev 2, 208 is rev 1.  Telling a Gig E from a sawtooth is easy.  For one, 
the PS connector for the motherboard of a Gig E has 22 pins, a sawtooth has 20 
pins.  Also, the sawtooth rev 2 may have 2 extra holes for mounting a dual 
processor card (someone please verify this), while the rev 1 certainly does 
not.  
And right about now im wondering what the hardware limitation is that keeps a 
rev 1 sawtooth from usiing dual processors.  If its just short of 30WATTs from 
the PS or short a couple holes for a heatsink mount, Id like to know.  I may 
experiment when i have the proper funds. >>

Perhaps PS wattage is the easiest way?

I believe the dual processor compatibility in the Sawtooth has more to do 
with the proper UniNorth chip revision on the logic board than the power supply.

See: http://powerlogix.com/support/agp_dual_compat/index.html

According to the utility from the link above I have the "rev 2 board" capable 
of the dual processor upgrade. Good to know. 

I really don't want to pull the processor to check for the extra holes since 
the machine is currently needed daily for production. Perhaps someone else can 
verify the 2 hole theory.
