Please overlook my ignorance on Mac model names, but when > someone writes DP500, what machine does that refer to - a G4 Dual > Processor 500 mHz or G5? DP500 isn't the model name; I think the model name of the Mac in question would be Gigabit Ethernet or Digital Audio; I'd have to look it up (based on what processors were available in which models). DP500 tells me that the Mac has 500MHz dual processors. It doesn't actually tell you if that's a G4 or G5, but I don't think there were any G5s made that were under 1GHz (or 1000MHz), and given that this is the G4 list, one would assume that the Mac in question has G4 processors. -- Rich
