PowerMac7,2 were the initial uniprocessor PPC970 models (1.6 and 1.8GHz).
PowerMac7,3 have been most models since then, everything from initial
dual 2.0GHz PPC970 all the way to the dual 2.7GHz PPC970FX.
PowerMac9,1 is a low-cost uniprocessor model that's based on the iMac
design, and uses the U3L northbridge that the iMacs have, with a 1:3
bus speed ratio.
PowerMac11,2 are all the new PPC970MP models, i.e. U4 northbridge with
one or two chips (2 or 4 cores) per system.
I _think_, but I'm not sure, that all 7,3 models use the U3H northbridge,
and 7,2 has the original U3. Numbering seems to indicate that Apple
bumps version numbers when they upgrade chipsets.
