Would someone who is familiar with this machine check and see if I am wrong. The tear down for this model may be the incorrect machine. This tear down looks to me like the Intel not a G5. I have both machines and this is not the tear down for the G5. iMac G5 17" Model A1144 Repair
Judging from the pic in step 3 here, the EMC number is 2081, which does indeed correspond with Model A1144 (iMac G5 17" iSight). (The EMC identifier for iMacs originated with this article.) But I’ll alert the guide guys so they can double check. Thanks!
Hi Mayer: on step 16 of the tear down you refer to shows this is a 1.9GHz on the sticker on the memory bracket. Apple only made a 1.9 GHz iMac in a G5 and before I left the University I ordered 18 of these computers and remember the tear down because one came with a DOA hard drive and I had to go in through the front instead of the back and the clips at top were a pain to get reset. I hope this puts your question to a rest.
