Yup, the Powermac3,3 appears to be a Gig-E model and barring some strange slip-up at Apple was never offered with the 450 MHz CPU. As a devout tinkerer, I suspect the Gig-E was fiddled with. :-) Someone wanting a bit more performance without paying for the more expensive dualie modules? Bought a Gig-E without a CPU and had a Sawtooth CPU handy? Several possibilities exist. My AGP started life as a 350 and has been upgraded twice.
