There are many single G4 ZIFs in the 400-600 MHz range, but no "dual". They only dual G4 were not ZIF, but custom Apple CPU modules for later PowerMacs. Since these modules are removable, many people often incorrectly describe them as ZIF (short for Zero Insertion Force), which is a specific type of socket used in many computers, but only in the Macintosh Beige, B&W, and Yikes.
