I didn't think anyone made a dual card for these machines? All the

100speed bus. By the time you fabricate something, plus program
 the code for the dual for a non-AGP machine it'd be cheaper to
 buy a used dual IMHO. I'm all for upgrades, but there comes a
 time when they are no longer cost effective. Paul C, Supermacs

I think XLR8 sold a dual G4 for the first PCI macs for a short time. They certainly announced it and sent samples out for evaluation (Mike Breeden tested one). I can't remember whether they ever made it to market, but if they did, they were pulled again pretty quickly.


In the broader picture, I agree, if one has a true need for dual G4s it will be cheaper in the long run (especially if your time is worth anything) to buy a dual G4 model.

OTOH, if one just wants to have the bragging rights of having a dual G4 in the S900, that's another kettle of fish not subject to logic or trade off arguments.
