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.
