Hey Geke, This is a 466mhz and the Model# M5183 how this got like this is beyond me, (I figured it to be a 400, 450 or 500) it comes up when I click on "About This Mac" 466mhz and 896mb and right now running Jaguar 10.2.8 (I put Jaguar in it a few yrs ago) she only had OS 9.2.1... I have a Tiger DVD and plan on upgrading it to Tiger when I get it all together... I think I am just going to put a 60-120g 7200rpm PATA hard drive in it and not go with the SATA card and drive just to keep the cost down... So all I have left to get is 2-512mb's and 2.0 USB (if she needs it) and the Hard Drive...
