Does anyone know if there are any plans to make a dual upgrade card? I know that sonnet and powerlogix have 800MHz and 1GHz single processor upgrade cards, but I'd really like a dual cpu.

A few months back I was checking out upgrades on OtherWorld Computing and they had such cards available. I think they were from XLR8 and were dual 400, 450, or 500 G4s.

Of course, with the news about XLR8...what would you do?

I went and checked XLR8.com and they did have the dual 550 for the Sawtooth (my machine). But what news are you talking about? If I got a dual, I'd want 800s at least.

there was some talk just before the 1ghz upgrades came out that new dual upgrades were in the pipeline as well.

i think i read this at insanely-great.com but they are a bitch to search so i dont know if you can dig up the article.

upgrades have been stuck at 500mhz for awhile but these new 1ghz upgrades were supposed to usher in a new set of upgrades including some high powered duals. the 1 ghz have arrived but who knows what happened to the duals. hopefully it wasnt all rumors. id love to see someone frop a dual 1ghz in their cube.

I just posted a new thread about XLR8...I guess I should have read this thread first.

Hopefully, PowerLogix will pick up the designs and boards, though I'm not sure they're much healthier.

nah they only have dual 500s and under no duals go any higher than that, they have single 733s and hats it, its a shame
