According to <http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html>,
you have a QuickSilver, first edition, which means that it has either a
733MHz, 867MHz or dual 800MHz G4s in it.

Or you can go to <http://support.apple.com/specs/> and enter in the
serial number and get this page:
<http://support.apple.com/specs/powermac/Power_Mac_G4_Quicksilver.html>

Anything else you want to know about it will mean installing the OS and
finding out what information it reports.

Also, Mac OS X 10.4.x, i.e., Tiger...
