The computer was available in both Desktop and Tower forms and features either a 180/200/240 MHz 603e processor with 32k of L1 Cache and 0-256k L2 Cache. The CPU came on a daughter card so that upgrades were made easy as the other 603 Macintosh's CPU's were directly on the motherboard. The Motherboard was based off of the Alchemy design that the 6400 used. The System was a Cheap alternative to Apple's PowerMacintosh/Performa: 6360/6400</p> </div> </div><div class="flexinode-textarea-81"><div class="form-item"> <label>Related Discussions:</label><br /> <p>none</p> </div> </div><div class="flexinode-textarea-80"><div class="form-item"> <label>Related Pages:</label><br /> <p>none</p> </div> </div><div class="flexinode-textarea-82"><div class="form-item"> <label>General Specs:</label><br /> <p>Introduced: Oct. 1996<br /> Discontinued: May 1997</p> </div> </div><div class="flexinode-textarea-95"><div class="form-item"> <label>Logic Board Specs:</label><br /> <p>Processor: 603e<br /> Processor Speed: 180/200/240 MHz<br /> PMMU: integrated<br /> Data Path: 32-bit<br /> Memory Addresing: 64-bit<br /> Bus Speed: 40 MHz<br /> L1 Cache: 32K<br /> L2 Cache: 0 or 256K<br /> 2nd Processor: none<br /> Slots: 1 CPU, 1 PDS, 1 Cache, 3 Ram</p> </div> </div><div class="flexinode-textarea-98"><div class="form-item"> <label>Memory Specs:</label><br /> <p>Logic Board: Base off of the 6360/6400<br /> RAM Slots: 3/ 2 64MB max./ 1 32MB Max<br /> RAM Type: 168-pin 5v EDO DIMM<br /> Min.

These are essentially LC II clones. If you look inside one, exact same motherboard. The only thing that varies is the amount of video ram included and this varies by model. Originally came with 256k of video ram, upgradeable to 512k. Wed, 12 Jan 2005 12:44:53 -0800 http://www.applefritter.com/node/4247 This computer began the modern "generation" line. It even was dubbed the wicked fast computer, and came with spedometer images on every box. I still have both of my G3s to date. Wed, 12 Jan 2005 12:42:38 -0800 http://www.applefritter.com/node/3910 In 2001, Apple re-designed the PowerMac G4 Line with the Quicksilver. This had a diffirent form factor than the previous Power Mac G4 computers, sporting a much sleeker case. This tough computer also includes one more PCI slot, has three PC133 RAM ports, and came with MacOS 9.2 and 10.1.

Sat, 03 Jul 2004 22:28:54 -0700 http://www.applefritter.com/node/3367 PowerExpress Manhattan was to be the next evolution of the Power Macintosh desktop line, due to replace the Power Mac 7300 with the new PowerExpress architecture.<!--break--> In 1996 when Apple was working on the PowerExpress project, it was planned to be based on two motherboard configurations. PowerExpress was the more widely known, 6 PCI slot tower board. PowerExpress Manhattan was virtually unknown, as a 3 slot version of PowerExpress, designed to be put in desktop and mini-tower configurations. Though it is not known when Apple killed the PowerExpress Manhattan design, it is very similar to the Gossamer (Beige G3) board design, and the Power Macintosh G3 (Beige) Series got its start from it. The PowerExpress was supposed to be a melding of technologies, blending the best features of the 8600/9600 series (processor card upgradability, 6 PCI cards on the PowerExpress tower) and next generation systems (SDRAM, G3 optimizations, upgraded DAV capabilities). With a quick glance and untrained eye, the PowerExpress Manhattan motherboard looks virtually identical to that of a Power Mac 7300/7500/7600. The main difference that sets it apart is the new DAV slot, located behind the top PCI card slot. The slot itself is labeled "VCI" likely meaning "Video Component Interface" (similar to Peripheral Component Interface, or PCI), and would have provided additional bandwidth for faster and better video cards to be used. PowerExpress Manhattan contains many unique chipsets not found on production Macs. Some, like Heathrow, Denali, and Screamer, were used on other Macs such as the Power Mac 9600, where as other ones, such as Radical, Nine99, Kaos, Fatman, Little Boy, and 53C860 are native to the PowerExpress Manhattan board. It is also obvious that Manhattan, Fatman, and Little Boy are all references to the Manhattan Project, the United States Nuclear Weapons program, which took place during the 1940's. (Fatman and Little Boy were the names of the two atomic bombs dropped on Japan in 1945) Though I have yet to be able to get PowerExpress Manhattan to boot successfully, it does have an [url=node/view/3356]altered Chimes of Doom.[/url] Thanks to the help of fellow 68KMLA member and AppleFritter contributer [url=http://www.applefritter.com/user/view/33]jt[/url], we have also been able to obtain the [url=node/view/3376]boot chime of a PowerExpress tower[/url], which likely is also on the PowerExpress Manhattan.
