Sawtooth?

[cutman1000]

Could someone please confirm for me that I have the G4 Sawtooth? Remember when Apple went from 400, 450, and 500 MHz models down to 350-450? Well, I got a 500 AFTER they went back to 500 mHz and before they went to dual processors, and I have an AGP video card (Radeon). I think this means I have the Sawtooth, but I'm not sure. Thanks in advance.

What is the significance of having a Sawtooth motherboard?

It's just a newer, more advanced motherboard. The Yikes (PCI graphics) motherboard was basically a B+W G3 board with a G4 CPU. Sawtooth has AGP graphics, supports AirPort networking and has a higher max RAM (1.5 GB vs 1 GB)
