 Hm.  I didn't look into the Altivec thing much further than /proc/cpuinfo, 
which says:

processor       : 0
cpu             : 7400, altivec supported
temperature     : 15-17 C (uncalibrated)
clock           : 450MHz
revision        : 2.9 (pvr 000c 0209)
bogomips        : 894.97

processor       : 1
cpu             : 7400, altivec supported
temperature     : 31-33 C (uncalibrated)
clock           : 450MHz
revision        : 2.9 (pvr 000c 0209)
bogomips        : 894.97

total bogomips  : 1789.95
machine         : PowerMac3,3
motherboard     : PowerMac3,3 MacRISC Power Macintosh
detected as     : 65 (PowerMac G4 AGP Graphics)
pmac flags      : 00000004
L2 cache        : 1024K unified
memory          : 256MB
pmac-generation : NewWorld

 All this time I've been thinking it was a G3-based system... does this mean 
it's actually a G4?  You've gotta be kidding...  :-p
