How about this... Take a look at your iMac's case and see if you can find a sticker with some info on it. More often than not Apple includes a little (metallic) sticker which has printed on it a model number, RAM size and maybe CPU speed (they've done this right from the Mac [128] in 1984). Alternately, you know what form factor your Mac is and when you bought it. Then, find out what speed it is (About this Mac) and take a look at http://www.info.apple.com/support/applespec.html and figure out exactly which model is yours. [from another e-mail] machine ID 1206 ought to appear in the Apple System Profiler under Classic for all architectures and machines (i.e. a G5 and a hacked 604). You need to boot into OS 9 to determine the machine ID (Classic does not have direct access to hardware so it can't determine such things as machine ID). Eric.
