i have a blue and white G3 and i recently bought a G4 Yikes as a second machine so i could give the wife the G3. I installed OS X 10.4.3 and everything is fine except how the computer identifies itself. i know this sounds wierd but in system Profiler it correctly says it has a 400 MHz G4 Processor, but in "machine type" it calls itself "Power Mac G3 (PCI graphics)"
i know that the Yikes machine is really just a blue-and-white with a G4 processor but is this something wierd about my machine, some problem in firmware?
as i said, in all respects it functions as it should, but in every area, even in the screensaver with the machine name on it, it calls itself "G3 PCI graphics"
maybe i should have bought a Sawtooth/AGP graphics after all. (though money was the decider and i needed a second machine.)
does any of this make sense or indicate a problem?
