Power Mac G4 (Digital Audio)

This was the third computer to bear the name PowerMac G4, and it certainly lived up to the title. It sported four PCI and one AGP 4x slots, as well as dual USB and FireWire. Between 466 and 733 MHz and one dual 533 model, this computer was- and still is- one tough customer.

What can I say? This is my third mac, but its the first thats been around long enough (and was capable enough) for me to tinker with. Since I bought it last year, I've added another 128mb ram (totaling 256), a small storage drive from a performa 550, and a 4x SCSI CD RW. Future plans may involve a CPU upgrade, adding an ATA, USB, and possibly a firewire controller. Its main drive at the moment is a 2gb scsi, but once I get the ATA controller in I will upgrade it to something larger. Its current specs are as follows: 200mhz PPC (604) 256mb ram 2gb primary 150mb secondary 4x CD-ROM 4x/16x external SCSI CD-R (no RW support) OS 9.1 Everything else is pretty much in it is original. These machines offer great expandability, and you can usually pick one up nowdays for $50-100, depending on configuration. Matt
