It should be a 933 QS overclocked, given the L2/3 cache. It also could be an non-apple cpu upgrade.

If IT IS a MDD should be the last educational model of 2003 at 1.0 instead of 1.25

Is that motherboard (133 bus) with the CPU of a http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g4/specs/powermac_g4_1.25_mdd.html
Ask for a photo of the back to see if the motherboard is FW800
The last 2003 MDD EDU has that cpu and was OS9 bootable (no FW800)

ah ok i think u are probably right its probably a fw800 model.. i didnt even think. im so unfamiliar with those models;)

Sorry for my error. DDR memory means MDD
It could be the last model CPU http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g4/specs/powermac_g4_1.25_mdd.html on a 133 board.
The MDD 867 board is 133 so it could be a OS9 board.
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g4/specs/powermac_g4_1.0_mdd.html is 133 bus but FW800 and only 1 Mb L2/3

I am sorry for answering too much quickly
It seem 98% the FW800 1Ghz, but it could be a modified FW400 166bus with the cpu from that model (2% prob)

Is there out a method to "change" the "firmware" of a MDD FW800 to a OS9 bootable (First MDD) "bios"?
I did not find anyone that had made, but maybe one user has the 2 models and can say us: "the fw800 has a XXX chip for the bios and the Fw400 has YYY chip"  Maybe noone was brave enought to "desolder" the "OSX" controller and put a "OS9" compatible one.
There "should" be a method to "force flash" the bios  from the FW800 models to OS9, but in 6-7 years of research I did not find anything nor anyone.
But I just learned in the good way that this machines can still surprise us.
