Is it true that the new single processor G4's can add a 2nd CPU?

[XscapePro]

I recently attended one of Apples Seminars and the presenter from Apple mentioned that the new single-processor G4's had an open slot for a second CPU.

Does anyone know if this is true?

just buy this little thing

So your saying that you can just buy a second CPU from Apple and drop it in and thats it? So I could have a dual 867?

Cool

You can do that?

sure, you could buy the Encore/ST g4 duet, but that's only a dual 500 MHz

no...


You'd have to pull your 867 out and buy a replacement card... there isn't an empty slot to drop a 2nd processor in.
