TOPIC


    I recently bought what I thought was a Power Macintosh 8500/132. However, I just ran the Apple System Profiler application, and it reported that I have a Power Macintosh 8500/120. What's going on? Was I given the wrong computer?

DISCUSSION


    No, it is likely that you have the correct computer, but you are using a version of the Apple System Profiler that does not support the new Enhanced PCI-based Power Macintosh computers*.

    You should be using version 1.0.1, which is available on the online services. This new version of the Apple System Profiler corrects this misidentification of processor speed. In version 1.0.1, the processor speed for these computers is omitted from the description line.

    *The enhanced PCI-based Power Macintosh computers include the following series:
    - Power Macintosh 7200/120
    - Power Macintosh 7600/120
    - Power Macintosh 8500/132
    - Power Macintosh 8500/150
    - Power Macintosh 9500/150
