That's why, to find out what the origal basis of this Mac is, I already said
before:
"Go back to the System Profiler and write down the Serial Number.
Now go to:
<http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html>
and enter your Serial Number (has always 11 characters!) -> Show the
information.
You will see now all the basic info of your specific Mac. And don't be
afraid, it's a Dutch site but in English as well."

And in case ASP will not show the SN, look at the barcode-sticker on the Mac
and take the SN from there.

Well, as an example I entered the Serial Number of a Sawtooth and see what I
get:

Serial number: CK01208XHSE
Name: Power Macintosh G4 (AGP Graphics)
Model: M7641 PowerMac G4 400MHz
Bus speed: 100MHz
Memory - number of slots: 4
Factory: CK (Cork, Ireland)
URL: Technical specifications by apple-history.com code_to_number: 08X -
CK01208XHSE
Model introduced: 1999
Production year: 2000
Production week: 12 (March)
Production number: 303 (within this week)

For more info you can go to the URL, in this example:
<http://www.apple-history.com/?page=gallery&model=g4agp>

With the info you'll get in this way you must be able to find out what the
basis is and what has changed.

HTH,
