hey deaconblue, i'm pretty new to this computer/mac world and i'm having trouble following ya. can you clerify what you mean by "product family or product name"? when i click on "about this mac" and then more info, i don't see either of those? it says:
Machine Name: Power Mac G4 Machine Model: PowerMac3,3 CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (2.9) Number of CPUs: 2 CPU Speed: 450 MHz does any of this makes sense? i feel like i'm reading a foreign language! please help? I don't have the original install/restore CDs because i bought this machine on ebay and the guy selling it wasn't the original owner. How can i get on Install CD? thanks. |
