	Power Macintosh G3 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The Power Macintosh G3 (commonly called "beige G3s" or "platinum G3s" for the color of their cases) is a series of personal computers that was designed, manufactured, and sold by Apple Computer from November 1997 to January 1999.
		The Power Macintosh G3 was originally intended to be a midrange series, between the low-end Performa/LC models and the high-end Power Macintosh 8600 and 9600.
		The beige Power Macintosh G3 series came in three versions: an "Outrigger" desktop enclosure inherited directly from the Power Macintosh 7300; a minitower similar to (but shorter than) the Power Macintosh 8600 enclosure; and a version with a built in screen, the G3 All-In-One ("AIO"), that was made available only to educational markets.

	Power Macintosh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Power Macintosh, or Power Mac, is a line of Apple Macintosh workstation-class personal computers based on various models of PowerPC microprocessors that was developed, marketed, and supported by Apple Computer from March 1994 until August 2006.
		The first models were the Power Macintosh 6100, 7100, and 8100, which offered speeds ranging from 60 to 110 MHz.
		The Intel-based successor of the Power Macintosh is named the Mac Pro, in line with the renaming of their professional notebooks from PowerBook to MacBook Pro.

		The Macintosh's predecessor, the Lisa computer, was introduced in January 1983 for a price of $9,995.00 with many of the GUI-related innovations later seen on the Macintosh.
		The Macintosh was introduced on January 22, 1984, with a famous Super Bowl commercial featuring a female athlete throwing a hammer through a giant image of a dictator ("Big Brother", vaguely reminiscent of the dominant computer maker at that time: IBM).
		The Macintosh system software was a very large amount of complicated code that embodied the Mac's entire set of APIs, including the use of the GUI and file system, and a large amount of this system software was included in the Macintosh's ROM chips.

		The cases are similar to the Power Macintosh 7600 and 8600, with the difference that the tower has lost a few centimeters in height.
		With the Macintosh G3, processor and Backside-Cache reside on a small board in a ZIF socket similar to the Pentium socket.
		In principle the G3 is able to operate its Backside-Cache in the partial ratios of 1:3, 1:2,5, 1:2, 1:1,5 and 1:1 to the CPU clock.

		Power Macintosh G3 The G3 came in either a mini-tower case (similar to that of the 8600 & 9600, but shorter) or a 7300-style desktop case, and operated at either 233 or 266 MHz, with a 512 KB backside cache operating at 117 and 133 MHz, respectively.
		The G3 MiniTower model, which initially was only available at 266 MHz, had a different personality card, which offered all the features of the desktop card, plus 4 MB of VRAM (expandable to 6 MB) and S-Video In and Out.
		The PowerMac G3 was discontinued in January 1999, when it was replaced by the "Blue" G3.

	PowerPC - the power of Macintosh
		Every new Power Macintosh G4, PowerBook G3, iMac and iBook computer is designed around the high performance PowerPC G3 or G4 RISC-based (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) processor, which is a lot faster than Intel's processors that are based around older CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computing) technology.
		The Power Mac G4 is powered by the revolutionary new PowerPC G4 chip architected by Apple, Motorola and IBM, which incorporates a new execution unit named the Velocity Engine--the heart of a supercomputer miniaturized onto a sliver of silicon.
		The statement of the power and performance is underlined by the fact that the Star Wars Episode I -movie was made with high-powered SGI workstations and regular PowerMac and PowerBook computers.

		The obvious difference is case type, as the original Power Macintosh G3 series comes in an easy-to-upgrade "platinum" tower case, which was also used for the Power Macintosh 8600 and 9600 series and the New Power Macintosh G3 series comes in a unique, easy-to-upgrade, translucent "blueberry" and white case.
		The only exception is the Power Macintosh G3/300 (Blue) that is a little bit slower than the previously released Power Macintosh G3/300 MT. This is likely due to the 512k of backside cache in the Blue G3/300 as opposed to 1 MB of backside cache in the original G3/300.
		The new Power Macintosh G3 series does not have the traditional 4 MB ROM that the original Power Macintosh G3 series has, but it does have a Boot ROM that is around 1 MB.
