[QUOTE="technologist, post: 275137, member: 4134"] The MDD G4 1.25 was exactly where the line was drawn, as you've probably learned. The first 1.42 GHz machines were OS X-only. And yes, the "new" 1.25GHz G4s introduced alongside the 1.42GHz models were also OS X only. So you can't be sure just by looking at the CPU speed. [URL=http://lowendmac.com/ppc/g4-142.html]Low End Mac[/URL] notes that FireWire 800 was introduced at the same time, and suggests that you use the presence of FW800 to distinguish the OS X-only G4s from the OS 9-compatible ones.
