What...did Apple trick me!?!?!?

[WillMak]

On my about Mac it says that my Processor is 1.33GHz PowerPC G4. Which is right...but when I go to system profileer is says: " CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.2)" WTF!!?!?!?!?

 

[mad jew]

That 1.2 isn't related to the clock speed AFAIK. In System Profiler, does it still say:

CPU speed: 1.33GHz

🙂

 

[WillMak]

oh nm. I shoulda read the rest of the list. 😱

 

[devilot]

Glance down a few more lines and it should say:

CPU Speed

Does that still say 1.33GHz?

I've just checked mine--- and mine is CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.5) but the CPU speed is still 1.33GHz

:edit: Darn, I'm too slow.

That's why he's called Mad Jew. Poster extraordinaire. 😡 😱

And Lacero, did you just write my name in emoticons? 😛

Machine Model: iMac G5
CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (3.0)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1.6 GHz

What does the (3.0) mean anyway?

It's a countdown to the Intel machines, your 1.6GHz is 3, the new 2.0GHz are 2, that means there will be one more rev to the iMac before the Intel chips go in.

😀

What does the (3.0) mean anyway?

Chip revision? 😕
