The basic apple model is the 500 mhz g4 sawtooth. I believe the internal bus speed is the 100 mhz model. I am using cable internet. I dont understand what the rated through put is. I am not using a modem. If you meant the router it is a Netgear cg814gcmr. I am using the ethernet connection. And as for using the internet speed test, How do I do it? I am heading to work right now so I will not be able to return to my computer until late tonight. thank you for the help that was already given to me and I hope we can figure out this problem. thank you
