a) CPU is 1.5Ghz, bus speed 1.67 Mhz;

reported in System Profiler, and confirmed by examination, to be
PC3200-400 DDR, not PC2700 as Apple's specs say. Probably this
change is a result of the faster bus speed.
My mini (several months old now) shipped with PC3200 too, though that
was before apple bumped the minimum spec up to 512MB. I expect that's
because PC2700 is more expensive and harder to get hold of now, being
obsolete. It doesn't make any difference though. The system bus still
runs at 166MHz SDR, and the memory bus at 166MHz DDR (equivalent to
266MHz) a.k.a. PC2700, even with PC3200 RAM.
The bus speed (GHz, by the way :-)) hasn't changed, only the CPU
speed.
Actually, the bus is 167MHz (actually 166.666666*), not 1.67GHz....
That's part of the reason G4s are slow-ish compared to modern CPUs.
