Overview 
Product Description 
The Power Mac G4 is the 
first Power Mac computer 
based on the PowerPC G4 
processor. Some 
configurations also include 
support for wireless 
networking, dual-channel 
USB, Gigabit Ethernet, dual 
processing, digital audio, 
and a wake/sleep power 
management feature. 

 
 BasicsIdentifying Versions of the Power Mac G4  -   2 
Identifying Versions of 
the Power Mac G4 
There are six models of 
Power Mac G4 computers: 
AGP Graphics, PCI Graphics, 
Gigabit Ethernet, Digital 
Audio, QuickSilver, and 
QuickSilver 2002.
Power Mac G4 (QuickSilver 
and QuickSilver 2002) 
computers are easy to 
identify. Unlike other Power 
Mac G4 models, these models 
have a silver-colored case. 
They also have a recessed 
speaker on the front panel. 

 
 BasicsNew Technologies -  3 
To identify the other Power 
Mac G4 models, check the 
I/O panel at the back of the 
computer. The sound ports 
align horizontally in the 
lower half of the I/O panel 
on PCI Graphics models and 
vertically on AGP Graphics/
Gigabit Ethernet models. On 
Digital Audio models, the 
sound ports are in the upper 
half of the I/O panel. In 
addition, Digital Audio 
models include four 
expansion slots, instead of 
three slots on PCI/AGP 
Graphics/Gigabit Ethernet 
models.
