According to everymac: <http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g4/stats/ powermac_g4_450_dp.html> The 450DP uses a daughter card. IIRC, from what limited knowledge of the G4s I have (I have never owned on :( ), The two CPUs are soldered down but the circuit board they are soldered to is plugged into the logic board via a 300-pin grid connector underneath. These can be exchanged for other faster CPUs.
