    Again, as you seem to have missed my last answer to you: PowerMac3,1 to PowerMac3,3 *do have* MPC7400. And as MorphOS is announced for these machines we can safely assume that the MorphOS Team does want to be troubled with their hardware.

    > Some of the machines that use this Processor even appear to have AGP slots

    Yes, that's the whole point of it in terms of MorphOS. All PowerMac G4 generations with AGP are supposed to be supported (but probably not every model of each generation, see there). I cannot believe that you've forgotten that:

    > although I did check what type yet

    We (as in you and me) discussed that at lengths already:

    According to the MorphOS Team the PCI based PowerMac G4 generation (PowerMac1,2, "Yikes") will not be supported.

    I think you did, but forgot, which is frightening ;-)

    All PowerMac G4 generations except the very first one are AGP based.
