Picked up a Sawtooth G4 at the recycler for $20. I noticed the heatsink was all different with a fan and stuff.

Got it home and it has a PowerLogix 1.7 GHz G4 7447 upgrade that someone has overclocked to 2 GHz. It booted fine into OS X but I'm going to downclock it back to 1.7 GHz to be safe.

I'm going to move this card into a Digital Audio (for the 133 MHz bus) and make a permanent OS 9 machine - one of the fastest you can put together, short of a dual (and there's really no benefit to running a dual in OS 9 unless you are using one of a handful of programs).
