"Hardware" Panel in System Profiler Gone

Recently I reinstalled mac OS X 10.4 Tiger on My iBook G3 12" 800MHz after changing it's hard drive. In system profiler, there used to be a tab called "Hardware" with the logo being a picture of a PowerPC CPU and would give you some options on controlling system cache, now, after reinstalling the OS, it's gone. I used the same install disks as the ones that I used to install tiger a few years back on the machine. How do I get the panel to show up? is it an additional install, or a seperatly downloaded program?

system profiler has different "views" - check the menu that you don't have the "simple" view enabled.

Good Luck,

Just shooting in the dark here, but have you upgraded to the latest version of 10.4 available (using Software Update)?
