power macintosh G4

The powermac G4 (PCI Graphics) was announced in 1999. Based on the same logic board as the „blue and white" G3, the G4 PCI added a motorola MPC 7400 processor to an already successful machine. The G4 PCI introduced the new case design, similar to that of the blue and white G3, but tinted in the new professional color, "graphite."

Announced in July 2000, the powermac G4 (gigabit ethernet) added dual-processor power to the G4 line. Available with a single 400 MHz G4, or dual 450 or 500 MHz G4s,.

In July 2003, with the arrival of the powermac G5, the powermac G4 (MDD) was revived as the last OS 9 Bootable powermac ever. This configuration included a single 1.25 GHz processor, 256 MB of RAM, an 80 GB hard drive and a combo CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive.
