It usually says something on the back of the machine. There are two types of dual processor G4's.

The first models with 867MHz CPUs use PC-2100 DDR DIMMs the later models with 1Ghz CPUs and higher used 184-pin PC-2700 DDR DIMMs.

If you got one with dual CPU's that is one sweet rig you got there.

Power Mac G4: How to Differentiate Between Models, Part 2

M8493 = PC 133 SDRAM to up to 1.5 GB. CPUs = 733, 867, or Dual 800MHz

M8570 = PC2100 (1 GHz), PC2700 (Dual 1.25 GHz and Dual 1.42 GHz). CPU's = 1 GHz, Dual 1.25 GHz, Dual 1.42 GHz.

So the M8570 is obviously the better machine. I just don't know how to figure out the CPUs without having the thing on.
