With software applications becoming bigger and better — and making more demands on your computer’s processor — you could use all the additional horsepower the Power Mac G4 provides. With PowerPC G4 with Velocity Engine speeds up to 500MHz, one megabyte of backside level-2 cache running at half the processor speed, and a 100MHz system bus supporting up to 800-megabytes-per-second data throughput, the Power Mac G4 delivers pulse-pounding performance. And when you’ve completed your projects, shooting those big files across the network is a snap. Because every Power Mac G4 comes with 10/100BASE-T Ethernet built in.

This brand new brain, the PowerPC G4 processor, redefines high performance for the entire industry. It’s a supercomputer on a chip, with a sustained performance of over one gigaflop.
