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?

Hi!

Where do you look it up on the web?


System Profiler should give you something like PowerMac3,1 or PowerMac3,3 or
so.
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


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.
