The Sawtooth G4's all use an Apple-designed processor daughter board, having abandoned the ZIFs used from the Beige G3 through the Yikes! PCI G4.
For an AGP G4, your options are as follows: XLR8 and PowerLogix each make a 7410-based G4/550 upgrade. Sonnet offers a dual-500Mhz upgrade. However, you need to determine which revision your Uni-N chip is. Dual processor cards will not work with a rev 3 Uni-N. Look here http://www.sonnettech.com/support/errata/duet_errata.html to determine your Uni-N version. Sonnet and PowerLogix have also announced Apollo-based (MPC7450) upgrades at 800Mhz to 1Ghz, and but these are not yet shipping. Another option is an Apple-made processor board from another Sawtooth. If you're willing to do some fairly minor modifications, you can use a module from a Digital Audio or Quicksilver G4. These are sometimes available from outlets like PowerMax, or found on eBay. Depending on the revision of your Uni-N, you may be able to use dual-processor boards, if you can find one. As usual, see www.xlr8yourmac.com for details on your upgrade options.
