Do any of you have any criticism of the G4 Yikes model of the Power

seems that I remember a recommendation to steer clear of this
model, but I
cannot be sure.
Stay away from it nless it's dirt cheap. In and of itself it's not
bad, but it's really just a Blue&White G3 with a G4 zif upgrade.
The Sawtooth (or G4 AGP) is the 'real' first generation G4 and has a
faster bus, faster video and is just as cheap, and can be upgraded more.
The 'Yikes' came about when Apple's engineers heard Steve Jobs
promise G4 Macs by October and went 'Yikes! The G4 system doesn't run
right yet! Quick, get a G4 Zif, a can of gray spray paint and some of
those G3's over there!"
