PCI Graphics is overclocked to 450, and reads: Machine Name: Power Mac G3 (PCI graphics) Machine Model: PowerMac1,2 CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (2.6) Number Of CPUs: 1 CPU Speed: 450 MHz L2 Cache (per CPU): 1 MB Memory: 1 GB Bus Speed: 100 MHz Boot ROM Version: 1.1.2f2 It ordinarily would say 400MHz ... but I changed it to 450 using its jumpers. Its a G4 but its machine name is G3 ... was trying to remember why ... maybe uses the same mobo as its predecessor, but has a G4 cpu on it instead of a G3 ... something like that ... here's LEM info on my machine: http://lowendmac.com/ppc/yikes-power-mac-g4-pci.html Here's info on G3s: http://lowendmac.com/ppc/blue-white-power-mac-g3.html Also a good (free) source for info on unmodified Macs: http://www.mactracker.ca/ Bill Connelly artsite: http://mysite.verizon.net/moonstoneartstudio myspace: http://www.myspace.com/moonstoneartstudio > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
