When opening the Ambient menu "Utilities/System Monitor...", then selecting the tab "System Details" there are available help text over allmost each item.

So far so good. But when moving the mouse over the "Model" field, only a long number is displayed in the (mui) help bubble/square. What does that number mean ?
(Ambient 1.43 / MOS2.4 /MUI 20.6848 ) Just curious...

That number is the cpu version, according to this table:

PPC 750 G3 8x Multiplier = "cpu-version" = <00088201>
PPC 750L G3 10x Multiplier = "cpu-version" = <00088300>
PPC 7440/7441/7450/7451 = "cpu-version" = <80000201>
PPC 7445/7455 = "cpu-version" = <80010303>
PPC 7447/7447A/7457 = "cpu-version" = <80020101>

In fact I obtain the '80020101' number
Pegasos II 1 ghz
Powermac G4 Quicksilver with Sonnet Encore 1.8 ghz
Powermac G4 MDD single 1.25 ghz, silenced for ears health...
~~Powermac G5 dual 2.7 ghz~~ I'll be back...
Powermac G5 dual 2.0 ghz
Powerbook G4 1.67 ghz 17
