    Overview 
    Product Description 
    The Power Mac G4 is the 
    first Power Mac computer 
    based on the PowerPC G4 
    processor. Some 
    configurations also include 
    support for wireless 
    networking, dual-channel 
    USB, Gigabit Ethernet, dual 
    processing, digital audio, 
    and a wake/sleep power 
    management feature. 
    						
    							 
     BasicsIdentifying Versions of the Power Mac G4  -   2 
    Identifying Versions of 
    the Power Mac G4 
    There are six models of 
    Power Mac G4 computers: 
    AGP Graphics, PCI Graphics, 
    Gigabit Ethernet, Digital 
    Audio, QuickSilver, and 
    QuickSilver 2002.
    Power Mac G4 (QuickSilver 
    and QuickSilver 2002) 
    computers are easy to 
    identify. Unlike other Power 
    Mac G4 models, these models 
    have a silver-colored case. 
    They also have a recessed 
    speaker on the front panel. 
    						
    							 
     BasicsNew Technologies -  3 
    To identify the other Power 
    Mac G4 models, check the 
    I/O panel at the back of the 
    computer. The sound ports 
    align horizontally in the 
    lower half of the I/O panel 
    on PCI Graphics models and 
    vertically on AGP Graphics/
    Gigabit Ethernet models. On 
    Digital Audio models, the 
    sound ports are in the upper 
    half of the I/O panel. In 
    addition, Digital Audio 
    models include four 
    expansion slots, instead of 
    three slots on PCI/AGP 
    Graphics/Gigabit Ethernet 
    models.
    To further distinguish 
    Gigabit Ethernet models 
    from AGP Graphics models, 
    check the logic boards. AGP 
    Graphics boards include an 
    internal FireWire connector 
    at J9; Gigabit Ethernet 
    boards do not include the 
    connector.  
    New Technologies 
    While the Power Mac G4 
    family of computers all use 
    the innovative PowerPC G4 
    processor, they also include 
    a range of other new hard-
    ware and architectures. For 
    information on the latest 
    technolgies, check the Apple 
    Knowledge Base.
