It's simple to find out the name of the exact model you have:

1. Get the serial number off the bottom of the computer.
2. Go to this web page in a web browser: http://support.apple.com/specs/
3. Click "Browse By Product" at the top of the page.
4. Paste your serial number into the search field and click Search.

The technical specifications for your model will be displayed. The
official name of the model is something like "Mac Pro (Early 2008)", for
instance. 

If you further want the official model identifier, you can then head
over to http://www.everymac.com and search for the model name you just
obtained. For the previous Mac Pro example, that would bring you to this
page, where you can see the model number is A1186 and the model ID is
MacPro3,1:

<http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_pro/specs/mac-pro-eight-core-2.8-2008-specs.html>

When someone asks you what model you have, that's the type of
information they want.
