Product Description

From the Manufacturer

With a leap in processing power, ultraefficient system architecture, next-generation 3-D graphics, the revolutionary DVD-R/CD-RW-burning SuperDrive, and Mac OS X pre-installed, the latest 933 MHz PowerPC G4-equipped Power Mac is designed to put your workflow into fast forward. Included in this package is Apple's 22-inch TFT flat-panel monitor, making it an even more complete powerhouse.

The system's graphics performance is off the charts, with hot new graphics processors and dual display support. The nVidia GeForce4 MX delivers riveting effects, with fluid motion and photorealistic 3-D images. The GeForce4 MX, a phenomenal graphics processor with 64 MB of on-chip Double Data Rate (DDR) memory, pumps out 1.1 billion textured pixels per second to kick your projects into overdrive.

Faster-than-light processor speed gets an additional boost with an advanced cache memory architecture that provides ultrafast, dedicated memory with massively enhanced throughput. Accessing data from main memory is significantly faster than accessing data from the hard drive, and in these two models the system architecture takes this concept one step further with an even faster level of memory called L3 cache. The L3 cache uses 2 MB of high-speed DDR SDRAM running at up to 500 MHz--boosting processor function by providing fast access to data and application code at speeds of up to 4 gigabytes per second (GBps).

You also get the benefit of built-in Gigabit Ethernet for shooting large files across your LAN at previously unheard-of speeds, a 56K modem, an AirPort Card slot, two 400 Mbps FireWire ports, and four USB ports (two on the computer, two on the keyboard). Incidentally, FireWire, PCI expansion (four full-length, 64-bit, 33 MHz PCI slots with 215 Mbps throughput), and Gigabit Ethernet are integrated directly into the main system controller, reducing latencies and providing superior I/O performance.

This Power Mac comes with a 60 GB, 7,200-rpm Ultra ATA hard disk drive and three 3.5-inch hard disk drive expansion bays--with support for up to two internal ATA drives, three internal SCSI drives, or a combination of two ATA drives and one SCSI drive for a total of 232 GB of internal storage. And 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. With up to 4.7 GB of storage capacity on a single optical disk, this Power Mac will never run out of space for your ideas.

The 108-key Apple Pro keyboard features full-size cursor keys for those times when you want to zip up, down, and sideways to race through image retouching tasks, change direction in games, or jump from place to place in a document. It also gives you 15 full-size programmable function keys, so you can assign a single keystroke to quickly launch a favorite application, execute a command, or open a particular project file. The Apple Pro keyboard also comes with full-size keys for Page Up and Down, Home and End, Insert and forward Delete, plus a convenient Eject key for ejecting CDs or DVDs.
