    A few PB 1400c questions

    Upgrading my G4 MDD with a SONNET Encore/Crescendo MDX G4 Duet 1.8GHz Dual CPU Upgrade

    I do have G4 MDD - originally its FW400 model, with FW800 1.4ghz CPU & Copper Heatsink on it, with Sonnet SATA card with SSD attached to it - its a quite quick mac - which is why I hadn't done Sonnet upgrade. Yes it does boot into OS9 with Sonnet from what I know. Cheers AP
