    I'm in the midst of purchasing a Powerbook 17 G4 and the owner doesn't know if it is an 1139 and if it has radeon graphics with 128mb of ram. From what I read the 1139 has to have a clock of 1.67 and can have either nvidia or ati.... He thinks it is an October 2005.

    What is the easiest way to determine this?

    With nVidia GPU it would have to have a 12" screen.
