    Are you sure about MDD? According to Apple the MDD model was only available at 1.25 GHz (single):

    The dual 1.42 GHz FW800 model seems to be non-MDD:

    Or is Apple's spec listing flawed once more?

    According to the second link above the PowerMac G4 FW800 was also available with Radeon 9700 as BTO option (That's assuming you don't really mean only the MDD models ;-)

    Just FYI, PowerMac G4 CPU upgrades seem to exist up to 2.0 GHz, made by PowerLogix and Newer Technology:

    http://www.newertech.com/products/maxpower48.php (MPC7448, they also had MPC7447A/B ones previously)

    I don't know about them being rare or not, though.
