aah sweet. I have a goal machine sitting here under my desk. paid $200 for it.

shame mos wont be able to use the 3gb ram I have in it. I REALLY hope it idles the 2nd cpu into a low power state so its not running full speed doing nothing but getting hot.

And I'm going to see if a G5 will run with only one CPU installed.


it will run but its not advised, it messes up the openfirmware / fancontrol / thermal control stuff and the machine gets somewhat confused and will try and try and full force temp controls on cpu not there and messes up the one that is there.  I dont know if its osx or openfirmware thats flakey, but when I tested it on my dual g5, it really did not like removing a cpu.
