I fear the hardware/software hacks they would have to use to make the G3 cooperate in an SMP environment. Things like certain barrier instructions not being broadcast to the bus can tend to make code very very unhappy. (Take a guess why apple didn’t release any SMP G3 machines between the SMP 604s (one of which I have) and the new SMP G4s (one of which I want :wink: ))

The G4 version, sure, but I would personally tread lightly around anything claiming to run SMP G3 chips.

Now -clustered- G3’s on the other hand… Mmm… :sunglasses:
