I believe that any iMac that is at least 350 MHz is IBM PowerPC 750 based... And it is a copper chip. I do not believe that Motorola, now known as Freescale, was able to keep up with IBM. Freescale was mostly a "G4" AKA 74xx producer in later years.

I thought Motorola CPUs were used in all slot-loading G3 iMacs from 350 through 500 MHz, and that IBM G3 CPUs were used in 600 and 700 MHz models. But apparently Apple used IBM CPUs in some (all?) 500 MHz slot loaders. Anyone know the facts? Thanks,
