It would be interesting to bench test that theory.
When the beige G3's were released Apple pulled the 9600 350mhz off the market (until people started asking for them again as they wanted 6 PCI slots) as they were faster than the "new" generation of G3 machines which admittedly were only running at 233 and 266 mhz. This was also under OS 8.5 (if my memory is correct), OSX may be a different thing all together.
What would be good is if you could allocate one processor to system tasks and the other to application tasks, similar to the way the original Radius Rockets were able to be configured.
My 2c worth anyway

No, it doesn't use both processors. Last I knew, this was a feature they wanted to add, but hadn't yet.
Performance from a single G3 processor will be faster than from a dual 604

Who used XPF with a G3/400 based 9600

Hi gang,
Anyone had success running Jaguar on a 9600 multiprocessor system? Does it utilize both processors? Got two mobos complete with original processor daughtercards coming in next week (233 and 200MP), and I'm trying to decide how to config the tower. If OS X fully utilizes both 604e's it might be fun to see how much I can supe it up.
