G4 Gigabyte Ethernet 10/100/1000 400(1)/450(2)/500(2) with bus speed 100 MHz (mystic)
G4 Digital Audio 466/533/667/733 with bus speed 133 MHz (clockwork)
G4 Dual Processor 533(2) MHz with bus speed 133 MHz
As you can see there is wide variation of models that look almost exactly alike during this history of Macs. The way you know the difference is to look at the back panel. The performance of these machine varies more than you would think. Look closely and you will find Digital Audio 466-733 and Dual 533 have bus speeds of 133 MHz (these are your best machines)
When you look at what is being sold on Ebay you will find a lot of ignorance in buying. People are paying $600-700 for the sawtooth and sometimes $500 for a Digital Audio 533. A good buy is the Digital Audio in the price range of $450-650 with 466-667 MHz
Hope this helps in making a choice.

I currently have a beige G3/233 desktop. I am going to be trading it in on
a little newer version, probably a lower level G4. Which model first
offered AGP? The goal is that I want to run OS X and it will NOT install on
the beige G3...I've tried it.
Anyway, I want to know what you guys suggest for a decent G4 (which model)
that I can either upgrade with USB and Firewire or that already has USB and
that will allow me to use an AGP video card. Funds are extremely tight, so
I'm looking for the best bargain I can get right now. I'm trading two of
these beige boxes and one iMac in on the G4.
I have a GeForce 2 card in another PC right now, what do I need to do in
order to get that to work in the G4 I get?
I plan to upgrade the processor in the G4 after I get it, probably to 700mhz
or higher.
