If you use your G4 for numerical computation, this may be of interest to you. I've had a page with computing tools for OS X for some time now .. I just added some information and analysis on how one could the full power of a dual G4 for numerical work.
The page is about, using AltiVec and using both processors in parallel for C and Fortran codes. The speed gain upon using both parallelization and vectorization is huge. On my tests .. it varied between <b>4-10</b>!
