Starting with the appropriately named “Gigabit Ethernet” models, all Power Macintosh G4 models already have Gigabit Ethernet onboard. The earlier “PCI” and “AGP” models only have 10/100Base-T Ethernet onboard but can support faster Ethernet with the installation of a Gigabit Ethernet PCI card. Site sponsor Operator Headgap Systems offers a Gigabit Ethernet card that works in both MacOS 9 and MacOS X and is available for less than US$25 including shipping in the domestic US.
