@thedaemon the very last G5 imac suffers from the same thing because it's hard to distinguish it from the first intel imac, usually you can tell a G5 imac because it doesn't have the built in isight but the very very last G5 did have it
@thedaemon most people listing apple computers for cheap on ebay don't really know the difference. and because ebay gives you similar listings to fill up title and description from they end up picking something that looks like it but isn't the same model.
for mac minis specifically you need to look at the ports to tell whether it's a G4 or intel, iirc intels don't have firewire in the back, or it was something about the DVI port

i've published my first #chumby widget:
http://chumby.com/guide/C78EE13C-CE96-37DB-8202-C7A207F24A0D/widget
it's a weather widget that's inspired by WeatherSTAR 4000-era The Weather Channel, currently it's limited to guessing your location but the next step will be making a way to choose an exact location to report about
