My "Yikes!" 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:

Here's info on G3s:
