IIRC, the 1st gen. of G4s consisted of both PCI and AGP graphics 
models.  PCI on the 350 MHz model and AGP on the 400 and 450 MHz 
models.  Then when Apple finally started shipping the 500 MHz models, 
the model with PCI graphics got bumped up to 400 MHz.

Yeah, that's what I have at home, and although it is nice to look *at*, 
I'm becoming frustrated with its limitations. (one optical drive bay, 3 
memory slots, no analog audio in -- why the hell not?????????  "'cause 
Lord Steve spoke and they made it so..."  Jeez, I love using commie 
computers)  joking of course...  maybe...
