There's simply no better multimedia desktop than a fully-loaded Power Mac. High-speed FireWire connections, a SuperDrive that can read and write both DVDs and CDs, great graphics--what more could you ask for? The Power Mac is also appealing as a high-end business computer or even a gaming desktop. The technical specs are nothing short of mouthwatering: an 867 MHz PowerPC G4 process or, 60 GB hard disk drive, and nVidia GeForce2 MX graphics card. It comes with 128 MB of memory standard, but with support for up to 1.5 GB and its easy-access case design, memory upgrades are easy. Like all Power Macs, this model includes blazing 1 Gbps Ethernet networking and a 56K modem. The system comes with both the classic Mac OS 9 and the slick new Mac OS X installed.

Product Description

Buckle up - the Power Mac G4 is here. It features the revolutionary PowerPC G4 with Velocity Engine, which crunches multimedia data at blazing-fast speeds. The Velocity Engine uses true independent vector processing - a technology originally developed for use in scientific supercomputers. It gives you the power you need to create and manipulate even the most complex graphics files. The result is unprecedented productivity for creative professionals - in the arts as well as the sciences.Apple designed the Power Mac G4 for creative professionals who use computers as the pivotal tool of their trade, setting the pace of their work, their productivity, even their success. With its blazing-fast speed and convention-crushing design, the Power Mac G4 picks up where the best-selling Power Macintosh G3 left off. The Power Mac G4 is so powerful that its speed is measured in gigaflops, or billions of floating-point operations per second, just like supercomputers. At the heart of this system is the PowerPC G4 with Velocity Engine. Using vector processing, the PowerPC G4 brings supercomputer performance to the desktop for the first time. The Velocity Engine moves vector and multimedia data at super efficient speeds - it can process data in 128-bit chunks, instead of the smaller 32-bit or 64-bit chunks used in traditional processors. For all those who consider their desktop system a tool for expressing their creative abilities, there's a computer that can keep up with everything their minds can imagine - as quickly as they can only imagine. It's Power Mac G4.

Works great.......2003-12-02

We have 3 of these that we use for our college newspaper. They work great because each one has zip drives in them and we don't have to worry about the format of the disk. We can just take the disk from computer to computer, which makes sharing and transferring graphics much easier.

One problem that I seem to have is, being used to my HP Pavilion, I will click on the X on the left, but I forget to close the program. After crashing the computer a few times, I learn my lesson.

Bad Computers.......2002-02-14

Mac user for 6 years bought 2 dual 800 end of Sept. and within in a month both machines had processors replaced. Started to work on them again and the logic board went out. Apples respones to this was give me 2 more 800, NO THANK YOU! After a couple of weeks delay were not going to chance it and Apple says to bad. Guess the attorney is going to make some money.

I've had this baby for about 4 months now... what a delight. Adjacent to my G4 is a Dell 1.3ghz Pentium III. The clock speed means nada. I fire them up at the same time each morning and about a full minute after the Mac is busy opening applications for me, the Pentium is just starting to show the icons on the desktp. As chip architecture gets improved, you're going to see the Win-Tel crowd also saying that "clock speed doesn't matter" because newer Intel chips will be rated at 300mhz, but be faster than the 1.3gig P3 chips.

To compare a Mac and a Wintel machine is like comparing a pick axe to a chainsaw. Each have their uses, levels of complexity and levels of simplicity.

The dual processor won't do you a heck of a lot of good if you never use OS X. Only a couple of OS 9 apps utilize the dual processors.... OS X is all over that bad boy.

For now, I still work 90% of the time in Classic mode, but this machine still sings. I haven't had one lock-up or crash since I bought this computer. The standard keyboard has been improved and fits normal human adult hands. The power key on the keyboard has been replaced by an eject key, and next to that are "volume up," "volume down," and "mute" buttons for quick volume access.

The CPU is beautiful, stylish and easy to carry. The built-in speaker is classy and delivers decent sound for an internal speaker.

If you're a grahic artist, designer or web developer, this is the machine for you. Using programs like Photoshop and Illustrator in a Windows environment is just clumsy and awkward... graphics programs are meant to run on a Mac.

This is also the best choice for those wanting to create their own movies, CDs, mp3 collections and DVDs. No extra hardware or software to buy... just plug in your camcorder, CD or mp3 player and go! Easy, trouble free, and Koko the Gorilla could add RAM to this machine... no screwdrivers... just open up the latch and snap in your memory. This is the best computer I've ever used.

obviously matt's head has been spining in the pentium world for too long. matt, do you own a mac? no? i didn't think so. just b/c it says 2Ghz on the label doesn't mean that it runs 2Ghz when you need it.

This is a Dream Machine.......2002-01-14

This Machine is a Dream! The only thing that might be better is the Dual 800 MHZ machine that cost considerably more.
With the super drive, made by Pioneer by the way, you can turn and burn anything. Apple SHOULD have made this DVD-RW but locked that out with the firm ware provided.
The Drive is a CD-RW/DVD-RW made by pioneer and in a pc would do just that. Why Apple chose to lock out this feature is just what keeps "The Mac from being on every desk top in America! No logic to it!!
The Power Mac Quick Silver is a Mercedes Benz in the computor world. Sleek, pretty, and worth the money. A Graphic generating Machine! I use it for Digital video. I am satisfied that I bought one. There is something about having a top of the line machine that you can not explain unless you have one. It's a feeling of being able to do anything . Its Great!!
