That Sawtooth is a good solid box. Most of them can be OC'd to 550MHz or more, and with a fast G4 upgrade and a video card upgrade, will do 720p HD video. Check to see which version of the Uni-North chip your motherboard has. The rev 3 won't allow dual CPUs, but if you have a rev 7 Uni-North, you can upgrade to a dual G4 and NVidia 6200 AGP (flashed PC) video card. Good score! :)
720p.. barely. I had a Gigabit Ethernet G4 with a FastMac 1.5 ghz CPU upgrade, 1.25GB RAM, ATi 128MB Radeon 9800 Pro (which is core video supported) and it could not keep up with any 720p video. It would get about 18 fps.
