hello all; if i look up my G4 on the web it comes up as a gigabit/ethernet. the system profiler calls it a agp. to make it more interesting it doesnt have the adc jack where an agp should and it has a nvidia card instead of the ati rage any thoughts? -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

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. http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g4/index-powermac-g4.html Power Mac G4 “Gigabit Ethernet”: http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords=PowerMac3,3 Power Mac G4 “AGP Graphics”: http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords=PowerMac3,1 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.

It is propably an AGP Graphics The M5183 is actually a Digital Audio. That is what mine is marked and it was a 533MHz model. 466MHz was the entry level. The higher models came with an nVidia GeForce 2 or 3, and they could be ordered on the lower end machines, or be an aftermarket add on card. No ADC implies that it is an aftermarket card.
