The UPS guy delivered the CPU upgrade a few minutes ago.
The Giga Designs Dual 1.2GHz G4 Processor Upgrade installed very easily. (I had a brief scare when I thought that my machine wouldn't boot with the new processor card, but after hitting the motherboard reset switch, everything appears to be running fine).
There is noticeably more fan noise (seeing as there are two fans over the processors, where there used to be none), but it is not too bad.
It came jumpered to 1.2 Ghz (the processors are Motorolla 1000Mhz 7455s, but Giga Designs guarantees 1.2Ghz operation, and things seem to be ok so far).
Mac OS X is running much more quickly now.
This machine will be screaming as a server when I replace geeklair.net with it (especially if I pick up some SCSI drives ...).
That sawtooth must be smoking fast now. can you play the new UT on it?
I haven't tried ... I don't have a copy of it.

cool, downloading now.
So it appears that I can (although I'm not really all about 1st person shooters anymore ...).
Runs pretty good though.
Looks like I might have to consider an upgrade... 8^)
