This model has a 167 MHz system bus, two media drives bays (so you can have a SuperDrive and a fast CD burner), four RAM sockets, and three independent drive buses that each support two devices. An Ultra ATA/33 (ATA-4) bus is used for the optical drive(s), Ultra ATA/100 (ATA-6) connects to the stock hard drive, and there’s also an unused Ultra ATA/66 (ATA-5) bus. Unlike the Early 2003 FireWire 800 Power Macs, it has the ability to boot into OS 9, uses plain old 802.11b AirPort cards instead of the newer, faster 802.11g AirPort Extreme, and doesn’t include FireWire 800. The June 2003 model is essentially the same as the 2002 1.25 GHz dual processor model, except that it is also available with a single CPU. Like the 2002 Mirrored Drive Doors Power Mac G4, this model can boot into OS 9 as well as OS X. It must be time for Apple to unload the last of the old hardware. Leave it to Apple to completely confuse the market by releasing a “brand new” 1.25 GHz Power Mac G4 model at the same time it announced the first Power Mac G5s.
