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.
