The G4 Yikes and Sawtooth were the first generation of the PowerMac G4 tower machines. They were released in 1999 and had the same case design as the translucent Blue and White G3's, except they were this kind of grey-green color (it's referred to as graphite).
The diference: Yikes is the name given to the cheaper model that had four PCI slots. Three regular slots, and one for a video card. It was pretty much the same a G3, only with a faster chip. Sawtooth was a G4 with a completely different motherboard. The main difference being that it was the first Mac to use and AGP slot for the video card. This model had 3 PCI slots and one AGP for the video card. Past these, you'll hear reference to later model G4's as Windtunnel, Mirror Drive Doors (MDD), and Quicksilver. Here's a link that is handy.
