The earliest G3 systems were oldworld. In particular, the beige PowerMac G3
desktop systems and the first few models of PowerBook G3 are oldworld. Any
system made after the introduction of the iMac (the first newworld system)
would generally be newworld, such as the Blue & White PowerMac G3. As far
as I know, the basic key is that built-in USB ports equals newworld.
