Very fast... except it wouldn't be dual. OS 9 lacks dual processor
support, IIRC.

I believe that the upgrade which the original poster linked to does
not support the MDD. At least, the item description seemed to list
all the G4s except the MDD.
That board is specifically for 133 MHz bus machines ... DAs or QSes.

place an In Search Of post on the Swap List looking for anyone
willing to sell their Dual 1.8 GHz Sonnet Duet CPU Upgrade for less

exactly zero responses.

Well IMHO In defense of the Dual 1.8 upgrade, some of us Mac addicts like to
get the old dogs dancing in the alley. Theres something to be said about the
wind up of the PM G4 fans not to spaek of being able to boot OS 9.2.2

It is darn fast on a MDD 1.25 In my case I have CAD/CAM software that needs to
run from native OS7.5 to 9.2.2 so the combination of Tiger and 9 is something
necessary here
Well, there you go. One of the main reasons I got this dual 1 GHz MDD
a few years ago is that it boots so nicely into 9.2.2. I can still
cling to some of my ancient software and still easily get to the many
files that are in that ancient software. in fact, I took the HD out

I'd not compare the mini to a MDD G4.
The G4 has 6 bays, room for four PCI cards, etc.
I'd need to see the mini benchmarks, but it didn't grab me when it
first came out.

In any circumstances, you must obey the rule, if you do not receive item in
