[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 334121"] Welcome to Mac-Forums, lazerweb! Don't be scared, we're here to help if you have problems and we'll do our best! To reply to the question if it is a new system: not terribly recent, I'm afraid. [URL="http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g4/stats/powermac_g4_466.html"][B]It was introduced in 2001[/B][/URL] so 6 years ago. Check the link the specs are listed for the shipped model. Just to give you an idea, the 466MHz was in the beginning of the G4 generation of CPUs and faster versions were released in various enclosures very close apart. Then Apple went to the next generation of CPUs with the G5s. Then a little over a year ago, Apple went with the Intel processor. So to sum it up, this G4 processor you have is in the very early stages of that generation of chips, then the G5s came along, then the complete overhaul of the hardware architecture with the move to Intel. Hope this helps. :girl: [/QUOTE]
