Sticking to the 100 MHz bus and Apple CPU's, you're pretty much limited to 500 MHz. Your AGP =might= support dual CPU's and the MP 500 from a Gigabit Ethernet model could work. Check this web page for more information: http://www.newertech.com/tech_support/uni-north.php Some CPU's from 133 MHz FSB models are reported to be usable in the Sawtooth and Gig-E, but I've no experience in this area and will defer to the experts to clarify. Beyond that, you're into the third-party upgrades and more money. My Sawtooth was an early box that couldn't support dual processors so I went with a PowerLogix 1.6 GHZ unit from OWC.
