Product Description
Apple ignited the personal computer revolution in the 1970s with the Apple II, and reinvented the personal computer in the 1980s with the Macintosh. Today, Apple remains committed to creating the best personal computers in the world, and its hardware and software products are widely regarded as being the most innovative in the industry.Newly designed from the inside out, with an ultrafast Xserve-based architecture, the dual processor Power Mac G4 delivers unprecedented performance. For your next creative leap, scientific breakthrough, or production challenge, expand the boundaries of possibility with the new Power Mac G4 - twin-engine supercomputer.
Amazon.com Product Description
With dual 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4 processors, improved system bandwidth with a 167 MHz system bus, a new-generation graphics processor, a DVD- and CD-burning SuperDrive, and the new Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar preloaded, the fastest PowerMac ever combines screaming speed with ferocious graphics power.
The dual processors put this fearsomely fast Power Mac G4 squarely in the lead as the ultimate high-end graphics workstation, running professional applications like Adobe Photoshop up to 90 percent faster than a 2.53 GHz Pentium 4-based PC. And it's not all about processor speed--new memory cache technology and other engineering improvements lifted from Apple's new Xserve server architecture boost the speed of throughput between main memory and the system controller to more than double the throughput of the previous dual 1 GHz Power Mac G4.
Graphics performance is off the charts, with ATI's hot new Radeon 9000 Pro graphics processor and Mac OS X Jaguar's new Quartz Extreme--a breakthrough combination of software and hardware that accelerates the compositing of 2- and 3-D images using your graphics card instead of the main processor. This gives the Power Mac G4 an order-of-magnitude advance in graphics capabilities--including color, lighting, modeling, transformations, texture mapping, motion blur, and more. In addition, the Power Mac lets you spread your work across two monitors for a larger workspace.
This Power Mac comes with a huge fast 120 GB Ultra-ATA hard disk drive and three additional 3.5-inch hard disk drive expansion bays--with support for a total of up to four internal hard drives, for up to 480 GB of storage.
Since the SuperDrive-equipped Power Mac comes with iDVD 2, you can burn data CDs and DVDs--with point-and-click ease--to archive your work minutes after you take your new system out of its box. It also accommodates a second optical drive in addition to the SuperDrive, so you can even watch a DVD movie while your work is burning to disc, or archive material at the same time.
You also get the benefit of built-in Gigabit Ethernet for shooting large files across your network at previously unheard-of speeds, the 108-key Apple Pro keyboard, a 56K modem, four USB ports and two high-speed FireWire ports for connecting all kinds of peripherals, and an AirPort card slot. Four PCI expansion slots are also integrated directly into the main system controller, speeding expansion cards' throughput.
