Another possible option for people running OSX on a dual PPC is using

fans slowed down.

How does CHUD work? Does it shut down one of the G4's when it is not
needed and then wake it up when you are doing something more
demanding, or something that can take advantage of multiple cores, or
G4 CPU's?
I have seen it mentioned a few times, but don't really know what it
is, or how it works. It would not work or be helpful to me while
running MorphOS2.7, which can only use one of the dual G4 CPU's,
unless it is a utility that can be run and stay resident through a
soft re-boot, into a different operating system.
It would be great to be able to shut down one of the two G4 CPU's to
reduce heat when running MorphOS2.7 and then turn both G4's back on
when I boot into MacOSX, MacOS9, or any version of Linux PPC.
