1200XL M.U.L.E.
Well-known member
About a year ago, during days of better health and all that, I purchased a Power Mac G4 from the shopgoodwill site. The machine was advertised as having a 733 MHz processor and 128 MB of RAM. This is what is printed on the specifications sticker on the back.
Now, after a long long long break, I pull out the machine and turn it on. It chimes and boots. To my surprise, it has a seemingly clean install of Leopard 10.5.8 and the System Profiler is telling me I have a Dual 1 GHz processor setup inside. I open up the machine to take a look inside and I see a large heat sink. that isn't shy to warm up.
Did someone do a major hotrod upgrade here?
What is the best, most definitive method of identifying and confirming my CPU type without removing the CPU and/or the heat sink?
Thanks!
