I won a Sawtooth board on ebay that was used with Dual G4 CPUs. It arrived a couple days ago with damaged parts from being shipped in an envelope (inductor trashed, couple capacitors ripped off the board, busted battery holder etc. Anyway after removing some parts from my motherboard I now have a working dual G4-500 Sawtooth machine (Uni-7 revision).

Xbench gives me 24.46 running under OSX 10.3.9 with a Radeom 7500, 1GB RAM, 80GB IDE HD.

This is my G4 1.26Ghz Quicksilver scored 56.10

And my other Quicksilver 800Mhz no cache scored 23.95

So a Dual G4-500 scores slightly better then a Quickserv 800 with no L3 cache even with a slower FSB?

Also does using OSX 10.4.11 give better video scores then 10.3.9?
