	Apple - Mac Pro
		Testing conducted by Apple in July 2006 using preproduction 3.0GHz quad-core Mac Pro units and shipping 2.5GHz Power Mac G5 Quad units.
		Opt for the 8-core Mac Pro and you get the power of two Quad-Core Intel Xeon “Clovertown” processors running at 3.0GHz.
		Mac Pro accommodates up to four drives and 3TB of storage with optional internal RAID, offers eight DIMM slots to fill with up to 16GB of RAM, and provides up to two SuperDrives.

	Power Macintosh: L1 and L2 Cache Explained
		The Power Macintosh 8100/80 shipped with 256K L2 cache already installed; users of Power Macintosh 6100/60, 6100/60AV, 7100/66, and 7100/66AV can install a L2 cache by installing the appropriate cache SIMM into the 160-pin connector on the main logic board.
		The Power Macintosh 7200 is theoretically expandable to 1 MB, while the 7500, 7600, and 8500 series computers are theoretically expandable to 4 MB, but those configurations have not been tested and are not supported by Apple.
		The Power Macintosh 9500 series computers do not have a DIMM socket for adding additional L2 cache memory, and therefore are not expandable beyond 512K.

	Designing Applications for the Power Macintosh
		But the Power Macintosh can offer a much richer experience than was possible with previous computers if developers break free of their old assumptions and harness the power of the machine to make software not just faster, but easier and more enjoyable to use.
		The Power Macintosh is fast enough that it wasn't worth spending coding and debugging time to save on runtime calculation, because the savings wouldn't be perceived by the user.
		Once Power Macintosh computers are fast enough that an entire, complex inequality graph can be drawn in a single 15- tick time slice, users will be able to explore inequalities as fluidly as they can now play with simple functions.

	TidBITS: Power Macintosh Musings
		Most everything runs under the new System 7.1.2 on the Power Macs, and some users claim the move to Power Macintosh was smoother even than the move to System 7 or to an AV Mac.
		Power Macintosh emulation is based on the 68LC040 chip from Motorola, which lacks a floating point unit.
		We Macintosh users can carp all day about what a lousy interface Windows has and how clumsy simple tasks like moving directories are, but in the end, these folks will not run their applications in emulation.

	Power Mac Apple FAQs
		As long as memory modules speeds are equal to or less than the Power Macintosh-specified memory speed, installing different speed modules should have no impact on the Power Macintosh computer's functionality.
		For first generation Power Macintosh computers that require SIMMs to be installed in pairs, the two SIMMs within a pair need to be identical.
		There are three categories of Power Macintosh computers based on their level of EDO memory support.

	Will The Power Macintosh G5 inspire the market? ExtremeTech - Find Articles
		The question whether or not the new Power Macintosh G5 really is the "worlds most powerful personal computer" as Apples' marketing claims is a moot point.
		With the Power Macintosh G5, the company is getting one step closer to providing a true entry level workstation.
		Macintosh enthusiasts will be very happy to have something to show off, and the Power Macintosh G5 should at any rate be the Photoshop Dream Machine, especially if Adobe recompiles the program to support the 64-bit architecture.

	How Virtual Memory Works on a Power Macintosh
		The Power Macintosh runtime architecture was designed with virtual memory in mind; therefore, when you use a Power Macintosh, you should usually have virtual memory turned on.
		A 68K Macintosh knows only about the resource fork, but a Power Macintosh knows to look in the data fork (there's a special resource that says to look in the data fork that only the Power Macintosh loader knows about).
		On a Power Macintosh, you would typically need a bigger partition because stack frames are larger, but since there's no code, things roughly balance out.

	TidBITS: The Power Macintosh Picture
		Each Power Macintosh has a variety of input and output options, including on-board Ethernet (with an Apple FriendlyNet port); 16-bit CD-quality stereo input and output; and a GeoPort connector, which requires Apple's GeoPort Telecom Adapter to connect to the world.
		Raw processing power is likely to be multiplied by three to five in each of these steps, so a Power Macintosh of 1995 or 1996, based on a PowerPC 620, will be quite the screamer.
		Each Power Macintosh ships with a demo version pre-installed on its hard disk, but that's held to relatively short work sessions and a limited number of total launches.

	Macintosh - Wikipixel
		For instance, the Macintosh is regarded as being the first personal computer to popularize the use of the graphical user interface at a time when most computers used an operating system with a command line interface.
		Today Apple differentiates their Macintosh line from the competition through the use of innovative industrial design and packaging their systems with the easy-to-use Mac OS X. To compliment the Macintosh line, Apple also develops a series of digital media applications (collectively the iLife suite) and a range of software aimed at the creative professional market.
		Smith's first Macintosh board design was to Raskin's specifications; it had a 64K memory, used the slow Motorola 6809E microprocessor, and had a 256 by 256 fl and white bitmap display.

	Zapping the Macintosh PRAM (macintosh005) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Power Manager is an integrated circuit that is usually on the logic board of the PowerBook and iBook.
		Examples would be not powering on, not waking from sleep, not charging the battery, or not seeing the AC Adapter, among others.
		Resetting the Power Manager is accomplished in a variety of ways depending upon the specific PowerBook model in use.

	Macworld: Review: Power Macintosh G3's
		Initially, the most striking features of the new Power Mac G3's are the translucent-blue faceplate, backplate, and top; the ice-colored side panels revealing the ghostly G3 logo beneath; and four sturdy handles protruding from the corners of the case.
		At the bottom of the Power Mac's case is a metal tray that holds the Ultra ATA drive and offers space for two additional internal storage devices.
		The Processor scores for the more powerful Macs, with their 1MB cache, fell just about where we expected–14 to 30 percent faster than that of the baseline system.

	Ars Technica: Power Macintosh G5 noise problems continue -- (3/2004)
		It's been about 6 months since the Power Mac G5 was introduced, and Apple still can't seem to produce a decent power supply for its dual processor models.
		(The single CPU models have a different, less powerful power supply that does not seem to have these problems.) The most serious is that noise sometimes leaks into the analog audio outputs.
		This may be partially caused by other faulty electrical connections and components, but the power supply has been the prime suspect for reasons that will become apparent in a moment.

	Repairing the power supply on my Power Macintosh G4 MDD FW800 dual 1.42 GHz
		With the door open, I plugged in the power cord and the crackling sound re-appeared and I saw flashes of sparks from the power supply prompting me to unplug the cord again.
		The prices I found for the G4 MDD power supply ranges from $100 to $150 (USD) for a refurbished one and $150 to $250 for a new one.
		Well, since I may be buying a new power supply, I decided to remove the one that's in my G4 and do a little surgery.

		The first is that the Macintosh was designed to draw current from the AC outlet EVEN when powered off.
		If you unplug the system, manage the AC with a surge suppressor (or power strip) or are plugged into a managed power outlet, the battery stays in use and depletes more rapidly.
		Other things that can affect PRAM battery life are a malfunctioning power supply or a system with significant additional RAM or peripherals that cannot be supported by the original power supply.

	penguinppc.org: Macintosh
		All Power Macintosh before the G5 are 32-bit PowerPC; the G5 is the first 64-bit Macintosh.
		Macintosh do not use the DOS partition map scheme typical of PCs, so well-known tools such as fdisk, sfdisk, and cfdisk will render your disk unbootable (the real issue is that your firmware must understand your partition layout, and Apple's firmware only understands Apples partition map).
		PowerPC GNU/Linux runs natively on PCI-based Apple Power Macintosh, many IBM and Motorola PReP and CHRP workstations, IBM pSeries and iSeries servers, Amiga Power-UP systems, and many embedded platforms that utilize the Motorola/Freescale and IBM/AMCC embedded PowerPC processors.
