"Wicked fast" is the phrase that best summarizes the breakthrough performance of the Power Mac G4 - the first personal computer classified as munitions and under export restriction because of it's power.
Offering up to twice the performance of the G3 and three times the power of a Pentium III at the same clock speed, the G4 ws Apple's first serious pro computer after Steve Jobs became iCEO.
Designed in graphite gray, silver, and clear plastic, it even looks professional. The "Yikes!" version offers 0.8-3.2 gigaflops at 400 MHz (billion floating point operations per second) performance; by government definition when it was released in 1999, it was a supercomputer.
Note that there were two different versions of the Power Mac G4. released simultaneously The Yikes! machines have a different motherboard with different features than the "Sawtooth" G4. (Full specs on the "Sawtooth" G4 are on a separate page.)
The Yikes! version does not have the AGP video card slot or support AirPort. The 1999 G4s were the first Macs with bootable USB. However, the Yikes! G4 cannot boot from a FireWire drive and does not support FireWire Target Disk Mode.
The "Yikes" Power Mac G4 cannot boot from USB drives (see Apple Knowledge Base Article #58430, USB Info and Benefits of Dual-Channel USB).
Due to supply problems at Motorola, Apple replaced the G4/400 with a 350 MHz model at the same price on October 13, 1999 - perhaps the first time in the industry a computer has dropped in speed without dropping in price.
If you would have been content with a blue & white G3 at 300-400 MHz, the Yikes! G4 is pretty much the same computer with an even better CPU. But if you're after flat out performance, bypass this model and go for the Sawtooth machines.
The Yikes! G4 is absolutely not supported under Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard", and it cannot boot into Leopard with its original video card. We do have a report of Yikes! successfully booting into Leopard with a Radeo 9200 PCI video card.
The Yikes! G4 was discontinued on December 2, 1999.
