The Power Mac line of desktop personal computers is targeted at business and professional users and is designed to meet the speed, expansion
and networking needs of the most demanding Macintosh user. Powered by the PowerPC G5 processor, the Power Mac G5 utilizes 64-bit
processing technology for memory expansion up to 8GB, and advanced 64-bit computation while also running existing 32-bit applications
natively. The Power Mac G5 product line comes in four processor configurations—single 1.8GHz, dual 1.8GHz, dual 2.0GHz and dual 2.5GHz.
All Power Mac G5 desktops feature a SuperDrive™ and either the NVIDIA GeForceFX 5200 Ultra or the ATI Radeon 9600 XT graphics card.
In addition, all Power Mac G5 desktops deliver connectivity and high-performance input/output (I/O), including Gigabit Ethernet, FireWire®
800 and FireWire 400 ports, USB 2.0 ports, optical digital audio input and output, built-in support for 54 Mbps AirPort® Extreme wireless
