Well, I updated a Sawtooth 450 to Dual 450 and it made a big

What upgrade did you do? I mean, what board mfr did you use?
All of the ones I've seen won't support dual processing on a Sawtooth.
All the best,

Whether or not a given Sawtooth (aka the original AGP Graphics G4)
will support a dual processor configuration depends on the version of
an ASIC used on the motherboard. There are ways to determine if your
motherboard will support a multi-processor machine. I tested mine,
it "passed", and I got an Apple dual 450 card... if memory serves, I
bought it from someone on the [SWAP] list. Had to buy the dual heat
sink elsewhere - that was a killer because there weren't any on eBay
at the time so I got soaked by a guy on the web who specializes in
hard to find Apple parts. Anyway, machine runs like a top with dual
processors. If you look at, for instance, OtherWorld Computing's web
site, they explain about the motherboard ASIC issue and how to test
your board.
