How do I tell What model my G4 is?

I was given a g4 the other day, but with no manuel. I've been trying to search on the net and there are so many differt models. On the back it has model M5183. I was given a system profile sheet and it has a sales order # of M7891LL/A. Any help will be greatly appericated.
thanks

Hi, wintergreen -
The same form factor was used for more than one model series.
Definitive ways to tell -
Is the front panel definitely blue, or is it a grayish tone? If blue, it is a B&W; if grayish, it is a G4.
How does Apple System Profiler describe the machine? If it is a Power Mac G4 (PCI Graphics) model or a Power Mac G4 (AGP Graphics) model it will state that; if it is a Gigabit Ethernet model, it will usually state just Power Mac G4.
From Apple System Profiler, what is the CPU speed?
If it is a G4, the article I linked to provides the back-panel views, which distinguish most of the G4 models one from another. An exception - the back of the G4 (AGP) and the Gigabit Ethernet are the same.

  • It seems someone is using my ipad as a hotspot.  How do I tell what's connected?

    I have a Verizon (obviously) iPad.  I turned on personal hotspot and at the top of my ipad it shows "Personal Hotspot: 1 Connection"  There aren't any device that I know of connected though.  I changed the password to something new, and which I believe should have dissconnected anything connected and it immediately popped right back up and said 1 connection.
    How do I tell what device(s) are connected to it?  Is there just no security and the wi-fi password can easily be bypassed?

  • How do I tell what version (update / release level) of version 6 has been applied to my system?

    Question
    How do I tell what version (update / release level) of version 6 has been applied to my system? I have applied several different release levels to version 6 of FF but all the about feature tells me is Version 6.0. no version! This seems to be a change in the way updates are handled. Is that a bending because of the speed of which you're pushing out updates and new releases?

    Nope, I never used Chrome, but I did try Chromium on my Windows desktop PC for a few months last year. I got tired of the Google updater. exe running all the time and Google's method of doing updates, so it's gone. I do have Chromium on my Linux EeePC since last summer, but Ubuntu handles all updates and gives the user the capability to accept or deny, any or all updates - much more to my liking, similar to the way Mozilla does it. I don't like software developers forcing to update until I am ready to proceed.
    There's a lot more about this new Fast Release system, than just the lack of visible version numbers, that I don't like. The Nightly, Aurora, Beta, & Release sequence is dumb with the way it changes the version numbers. I prefer installing (for instance) what will become version 7 and have that installation progress thru the 4 stages, instead. Now it's like Nightly going from 7 to 8, Aurora going from 6 to 7, and Beta doing - hell, I won't know if it becomes a Release or if it just dies and I will have to install the Release version myself. ''Quite honestly I don't care, because I don't think this new "system" is going to last too long without major modifications. Too damn many users are so pissed off, that when Firefox starts losing large numbers of users, Chrome keeps growing and eventually passes Firefox in number of users and market share of usage - Mozilla will wake up and see the "light" and change back to the way things used to be done, to a certain extent.''
    I also dislike the UI changes in 4/5/6/7 enough that I am still using Firefox 3.6 for almost everything and Firefox 2.0.0.20 for the rest. I have been setting my toolbars up almost like Mozilla did for Firefox 4, since Firefox '''0.7''' in 2003 and I haven't come up with a workable combination of mods and extensions to configure Firefox to look and work the way I have been doing for almost 8 years now.
