Description In a sleek Quicksilver enclosure, the PowerMac G4 takes data and spins it around so fast you have to be careful not to get dizzy. In Photoshop 7 tests, this model outperformed a 2.53GHz Pentium 4 computer by a blistering 45% - how's that for graphics power? It's configured with dual 867MHz G4 processors, a 256KB on-chip, full-speed L2 cache per processor, a 1MB DDR SDRAM L3 cache per processor, a 60GB 7200rpm hard drive and 512MB PC2100 DDR SDRAM (256MB standard plus our 256MB upgrade, expandable to 2GB). The G4 processor is built on the Velocity Engine vector processing unit. A powerful floating-point unit supports single-cycle, double precision calculations and data stream prefetching operations support four simultaneous 32-bit data streams. The PowerMac also features four 64-bit, 33MHz PCI slots, a built-in 56K V.92 modem, 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet connectivity, an AirPort slot for optional wireless networking, two open USB ports and two FireWire ports. The combo drive includes both CD-RW and DVD-ROM functions; it writes CD-Rs at 16X, rewrites CD-RWs at 10X, reads CD-ROMs at 32X and reads DVD-ROMs at 8X (max. speeds), so you can compile audio CDs or watch movies. Video is provided by the nVidia GeForce4 MX card with 32MB DDR SDRAM and support for simultaneous ADC and DVI displays and a VGA adapter, with resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 (digital) and 1600 x 1200 (analog) on compatible displays. Plug in optional speakers to the sound card or USB ports and you have a complete multimedia machine. An Apple Pro Keyboard and Apple Pro Mouse are included.
