If you don't have the ability to do that, the only way to tell is to
either boot up the machine or look inside. Sawtooth has a AGP slot, I
believe and a slot for the original airport card. Yikes have all PCI
slots and no slot for the airport card.
Not quite correct. There is a way to tell if a machine is a Yikes or
not. Look at the back at the audio ports.
Per http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58418:
Since the Yikes is basically a B&W in a graphite case without the
firmware patch to keep G4's from running in it, the logic board and port
layout is the same.
Look at the back of any G4 past the Yikes and you will see the sound
ports arranged vertically. The B&W and Yikes have their audio ports
arranged horizontally.
Internally, look for a short PCI slot. All the New World power Macs had
64-bit PCI slots. The B&W and Yikes have one 32-bit PCI slot that runs
at 66 MHz for the video card. Also, every machine after the Yikes and
B&W has a huge heat sink on the CPU (Each Mac design seems to have a
distinctive CPU heat sink for it's model).
