Hi!

Where do you look it up on the web?


System Profiler should give you something like PowerMac3,1 or PowerMac3,3 or 
so.

EveryMac.com is a good source, so you can rule out models which don't fit.

Power Mac G4 “Gigabit Ethernet”:

Power Mac G4 “AGP Graphics”:

If your G4 has an AGP graphics card, but no ADC power connector on the system 
board and maybe the graphics card doesn't feature an ADC connector (bear in 
mind that an AGP graphcis card with ADC connector will most likely work 
anyhow, only the monitor doesn't get the additional power), then it cannot be 
a Gigabit Ethernet. It is propably an AGP Graphics.
