THE NEW POWER MAC G4 - FASTER , MORE EXPANDABLE AND MORE AFFORDABLE THAN EVER
The new Power Mac G4 combines rock solid engineering reflective of the full-throttle Xserve architecture with new technologies for massively enhanced output and connectivity. And it’s a digital media powerhouse that delivers tremendous value across the line, with dual processor performance starting at just $1999.
Twin-engine power
This turbocharged Power Mac rips through digital video and 3D projects faster than Pentiums can say “uncle.” Designed for creative, scientific and business environments, the new Power Mac G4 comes in 1.42GHz and 1.25GHz dual-processor configurations and in a 1GHz single-processor model. The twin-engined Power Mac G4s are supported not only by generous reserves of L2 and L3 cache on each processor, but also by Mac OS X’s robust foundation, which features multithreading and symmetric multiprocessing for an additional performance boost.
The Power Mac G4 can be built-to-order to fit any professional use. You can fill it with 2 GB of high-speed DDR SDRAM, get it with a 4x SuperDrive that’s twice as fast at burning DVDs, choose up to four internal hard disk drives up to a mind-boggling 720GB, get unwired with an AirPort Extreme Card or with a Bluetooth wireless connectivity module and add scorchingly fast graphics. Every new Power Mac G4 also gets the benefit of a built-in FireWire 800 port, two FireWire 400 ports, four USB ports (two on the computer, two on the keyboard) and four full-length 64-bit, 33MHz PCI slots and Gigabit Ethernet for shooting large files across your LAN at phenomenal speeds. What’s more, FireWire, PCI expansion and Gigabit Ethernet are integrated directly into the main system controller, reducing latencies and providing superior I/O performance.
Expand your digital domain
The Apple Display Connector (ADC) makes it a snap to connect your Power Mac G4 to your choice of three brilliant displays. Combine your G4 with the 17-inch Apple Studio Display or 20-inch Apple Cinema Display — or the gorgeous 23-inch Apple Cinema HD Display — and you’ll have the perfect environment for creative professionals. While you’re at it, expand your workspace even farther. The all-digital Apple flat-panel displays are so unbelievably affordable that you can easily take advantage of the Power Mac G4’s dual display support. And you can also rejoice in the fact that there are no controls to adjust and no tweaking required: the all-digital signal between your Power Mac G4 and your display delivers pristine image quality.
FireWire 800
The new Power Mac G4 features the best built-in FireWire connectivity in the industry — two 400Mbps (megabits per second) ports and one 800Mbps port. The industry-standard serial input/output (I/O) technology for high-speed data transfer, FireWire is one of the fastest peripheral standards ever developed — and now, at 800 megabits per second (Mbps), it’s faster than ever. Fact is, FireWire 800 doubles the throughput of the original technology, dramatically increases the maximum distance of FireWire connections — up to 100 meters — and supports many new types of cabling, making it indispensable for transferring massive data files and for working with uncompressed high-definition (HD) video and multiple standard-definition (SD) video streams. And it’s way faster than USB 2.0.
AirPort Extreme connects wirelessly at up to 54Mbps
The Power Mac G4 supports AirPort Extreme, the new wireless networking technology based on the proposed IEEE 802.11g standard. Just add an AirPort Extreme Card to the Power Mac G4 and it can wirelessly connect to an AirPort Extreme Base Station at speeds up to 54Mbps. That’s nearly five times as fast as the data transfer rates of the current 802.11b wireless standard.
Sync with Bluetooth
The Power Mac G4 is Bluetooth-enabled and therein lies another big advantage. Like AirPort Extreme, Bluetooth connects digital devices wirelessly. Operating within a much shorter range than AirPort, it enables wireless data transfers between a rapidly growing list of Bluetooth-savvy products. Using iSync, for instance, you can use Bluetooth to synchronize your personal information between your Power Mac G4, your PowerBook G4, your mobile phone and your Palm OS-based handheld.
Off-the-charts graphics
The Power Mac G4 features 4x AGP graphics and your choice of four fearsomely fast graphics cards that turn on the afterburners. The ATI Radeon 9000 (1.42GHz and 1.25GHz dual-processor configurations) and the NVIDIA GeForce4 MX (standard on the 1GHz model) pump out billions of textured pixels to kick your projects into overdrive. And if you want to push those hot new Quake engine-based 3D games — ahem, we mean heavy-duty 3D graphics — into the ultra fast realm, may we suggest the built-to-order options of a NVIDIA GeForce 4 Ti graphics card or the hot new ATI Radeon 9700? Both feature a whopping 128MB of DDR SDRAM.
Cache advance
The Power Mac G4s lightning fast processor speeds get an additional boost with an advanced cache memory architecture that provides ultra fast, dedicated memory with massively enhanced throughput. Accessing data from main memory is significantly faster than accessing data from the hard drive and the Power Mac G4’s system architecture takes this one step further with an even faster level of memory called L3 cache. The L3 cache uses up to 2MB of high speed, Double Data Rate (DDR) SRAM, boosting processor function by providing fast access to data and application code at up to 4 gigabytes per second (GBps).

The power of X
Harness the strengths of the most advanced operating system on the planet. Mac OS X Jaguar gives you advantages like preemptive multitasking, symmetric multiprocessing and multithreading to take your productivity to new levels. Quartz Extreme routes graphics tasks to the processor on your graphics card, freeing your dual PowerPC G4 processors to crunch more digital data.
Power tools for professionals
The Power Mac G4 also comes with a library of creative, productivity and communications-specific third-party applications that leverage the strengths of Mac OS X. These include QuickBooks for Mac New User Edition and a collection of professional tools such as Art Directors Toolkit, Microsoft Office v.X Test Drive, FileMaker Pro Trial, OmniGraffle, OmniOutliner and Graphic Converter.
In addition, the Power Mac G4 comes with Apple’s easy-to-use iLife applications, which include iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie and iDVD. (iDVD software ships with SuperDrive-equipped model only).
New, faster SuperDrive
Apple’s legendary SuperDrive features an industry-standard drive that reads dozens of standard CD and DVD formats. The new SuperDrive writes DVD-R discs at 4x speed, reads DVDs at 8x speed, writes CD-R discs at 16x speed, writes CD-RW discs at 8x speed and reads CDs at 32x speed. Completely integrated with iTunes, iDVD and DVD Studio Pro, the SuperDrive is the perfect way to author CDs and DVDs for use in most professional or consumer players.
Need more drive? Add a Combo DVD/CD-RW drive to the convenient second optical bay at the front of the Power Mac G4.
Push the digital video envelope
Install Final Cut Pro 3 or Final Cut Express on your dual 1.42GHz or 1.25GHz Power Mac G4 running Mac OS X and you’ll be ready to push the digital video envelope beyond its known limits. Final Cut Pro 3 leverages the power of Mac OS X and the G4 Velocity Engine to deliver dual-stream, realtime effects such as cross-dissolves, titles and color correction in record time.
Thrives in a Windows environment
As thousands of Windows users who’ve switched to Macintosh have discovered, the Mac gets along fine with PCs and with UNIX workstations. You can connect your Power Mac G4 to a PC network or to your Windows PC at home (and to most USB printers and scanners, as well as FireWire digital cameras, camcorders and external drives). And you can share your .doc, .pdf, .jpg, .gif, tiff, MPEG, Windows Media, QuickTime, MP3, MIDI and CD (cdda) files with PC users.
