The Encore/ST G4 Duet is compatible with the the Power Mac G4 AGP, Gigabit, Digital Audio, and QuickSilver models. The chips are plug-and-play without the need for jumpers or switches and carry a three-year warranty including free tech support. Available now, the upgrade joins the dual-1.8GHz G4 ($600) as the Encore/ST G4 Duet line for $500.

Encore/ST G4 Duet
I been using the Encore/ST G4 Duet dual-1.8GHz in my G4 Silverdoor and have never regretted the buy. I am able to run Apps like Motion 2 + Civilization IV and other games and apps that need 1.8GHz or faster. This G4 was a 867MHz and with the upgrade I have noticed the Mac start up 2x as fast Apps open quicker and any App that does real time editing like Final Cut rocks with this card.
