Quick question for the best folks on Macrumors, which CPU upgrade is this. Came across this in a local sale site. Current owner knows nothing about the machine.
Got a tip for us?

Kind of looks like one of the OWC branded 800Mhz-1.2Ghz G4's.
Hard to tell by the look of it, also looks like a SilImage ATA card in the PCI slot with a USB card too.

I had a gigadesigns 1.2GHz upgrade that was similar in color, except the heat sink was totally flat with a small fan.
Those Sawtooth cases made for tight clearances to the heat sinks.

From this appears to be an OWC Mercury Extreme G4:

No idea. The heat sink for mine was gold. But the processor was definitely a Sonnet.
