Power Mac G4 (QuickSilver

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 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
models.
To further distinguish
Gigabit models
from AGP Graphics models,
check the logic boards. AGP
Graphics boards include an
internal FireWire connector
at J9; Gigabit
boards do not include the
connector.
