| '''DOL-001''' || '''Yes''' || The original. The digital AV port is the only way to get a component signal out of the machine without modification, and it is the reason a working DOL-001 is worth more than a working DOL-101.
|-
| '''DOL-101''' || '''No''' || Later cost-reduced revision; the digital port and its supporting circuitry are deleted. Different mainboard, different power converter board, and a different laser potentiometer range.

The internal board revisions are labelled '''HW1''' and '''HW2''' in the console's own hardware registers, which is how software tells them apart.<ref name="yagcd" /> The [[Nintendo GameCube Capacitor Replacement Guide]] treats DOL-001 and DOL-101 boards separately because '''the capacitor complement is not the same''' &mdash; some DOL-101 mainboards use polymer capacitors where DOL-001 uses electrolytics.
