	G4
		The G4 is a powerful RISC-based microprocessor, belonging to the PowerPC family of processors.
		It is used used in Apple Macintosh computers such as the G4 PowerBook (known colloquially as the "TiBook"), the 2002 2nd generation "Flat Panel" iMac and the desktop G4 Power Mac.
		Another big performance boost in the G4 microprocessor came from a 64-bit arithmetic logic unit, or ALU, derived in part from the 604 series ALU.

	Power Macintosh G4 Cube Q & A: Networking, Communication & Security @ EveryMac.com
		Although the Power Macintosh G4 Cube takes up less space than the tower case of the Power Macintosh G4 models, multiple cubes cannot be stacked, so you're limited to a fairly small number of Cube-based servers in a given location.
		The Power Macintosh G4 Cube has the standard Macintosh security port that can be used with a security kit, and the bottom release latch is lockable to make it more difficult for unauthorized users to open the case.
		However, due to its small size, it is probably best that the Power Macintosh G4 Cube not be used in settings in which there is a high-risk of theft.

		The Power Macintosh G4/400 (PCI Graphics) uses a case design effectively the same as that introduced with the Power Macintosh G3 (Blue & White) -- complete with a fold down door on the side that makes upgrading very easy -- but is clad in a more conservative "graphite" and white color scheme.
		The Power Macintosh G4 (PCI Graphics) models have the processor mounted on a ZIF socket.
		This Power Macintosh G4 model is capable of booting MacOS 9 and using MacOS 9 applications within the MacOS X "Classic" environment.

	apple-history.com :: Power Macintosh G4 (AGP Graphics)
		Based on the Unified Motherboard Architecture, The G4 AGP was built around the MPC 7400 chip, which was dramatically faster than its predecessor, the PPC 750 (for a more detailed description of the 7400, click here.
		The G4 AGP introduced a number of performance improvements, including AGP-based graphics, AirPort compatibility, a faster memory bus, DVD-ROM or RAM standard, an internal FireWire port, 2 separate USB buses for a combined 24 Mbs, a 2X (133 MHz) AGP slot, and up to 1.5 GB of RAM.
		The G4 AGP started at $2499 for the 450 MHz configuration with a 20 GB hard drive and 128 MB of RAM, and $3499 for the 500 MHz configuration with a 27 GB hard drive and 256 MB or RAM (both included internal Zip drives).

	G4 Power Supply Fan Swap
		I thought that replacing the fan in the power supply (PSU) and removing the (somewhat redundant) finger guards would decrease the PSU's echo capacity and allow more air to be circulated at the same sound volume, with some hope of a more pleasant noise.
		I originally planned to power the fan from the original fan power feed, but the increased draw from the new fan required and external connection.
		The main power feeds are glued to the fan in 2 places, which had to be pried free in order to remove it.

		For those who were a little confused by our original report, Sawtooth is the name of the next-generation Power Macintosh logicboard, not the code-name for the G4 (though the board will ship with a G4 chip).
		Reliable estimates suggest that the Sawtooth Power Macintosh G4s should debut by the end of the first quarter of 2000.
		The Power Macintosh G4 commercial viewed by sources is also said to sport these new enclosures, which do not feature a "G4" on the sides.

	Repairing the power supply on my Power Macintosh G4 MDD FW800 dual 1.42 GHz
		When I opened the side door of the G4, I tried to smell around to determine the source of the smoke, but had no clue as to where it was coming from.
		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.

		The Power Mac G4 line was designed with a rounded "quicksilver" enclosure, with a side door that swings open for easy access to expansion slots and memory.
		You just chain it all together: plug the power cord to the system unit, plug the display into the system, the keyboard into the USB port on the display, and the mouse to the USB port on the keyboard.
		Mac OS X is intended to combine the simplicity and elegance of the Macintosh with the power and stability of a new underlying foundation, the UNIX operating system.

		Apple Monitor Adapter (ADC) is made specifically for the new Power Macintosh G4 and the Power Macintosh G4 Cube user who wishes to continue to use their former monitor featuring a DVI Flat Panel Display.
		The new Power Macintosh G4 Cube both include a graphics card that no longer offers the DVI connector that the older Power Macintosh G4 units provided.
		And, as a result, the older style monitors that use the graphics card in the previous versions of the Power Macintosh G4 computer, which included the DVI connector, can no longer connect to the new versions of the Mac G4 and G4 Cube.

		AltiVec Enabler (beta), G3/G4 Profiler 1.2 beta, and a G4 ZIF in a Blue and White G3/400.
		Since the Blue and White was a Rev 1, I replaced the graphics board with an Orion RAGE 128, which is essentially the same the board shipped in the Yikes (sans DVD decorder plug).
		The G3 ZIF used in the upgrade was actually the ZIF from the G4/Yikes, since at press time no vendors were able to provide a G4 ZIF upgrade for testing.

	Macworld: Review: Power Macintosh G4/400
		With the release of the new Power Macintosh G4 series, Apple further confused matters by including a low-end model–the 350MHz Power Macintosh G4–that has far more in common with a blue-and-white Power Macintosh G3 than with its siblings, the 400MHz and 450MHz Power Macintosh G4 models.
		As we expected, the 400MHz G4 system was much faster than a 400MHz Power Mac G3 when using applications, such as Photoshop and SoundJam MP, that take advantage of the Velocity Engine subprocessor (see "Old and New").
		For example, the G4 was about twice as fast as the G3 when applying a Gaussian Blur and almost three times faster when running the Lighting Effects plug-in.

	Power Macintosh G4/733: Benchmark comparisons
		SoundJam is tuned for the G4's Altivec unit and multiple processors, so there was no surprise that encoding was faster on a dual-processor G4 than on a single processor unit.
		What surprises us is not how much better the new G4's 7200-rpm IBM drive did in read performance, but how well the drive in a year-old G4/400 stacked up against the drives in the newer machines.
		In our tests, the Power Mac G4/733 was generally faster than our G4/400 and G4/500MP, although the performance difference wasn't as great as we thought the new chip architecture might provide.

	TidBITS: Speed Dips for Power Mac G4s
		In effect, the first Power Macintosh G4 "speed bump" will be to the originally announced speeds.
		The company today reversed itself, announcing it will honor Power Macintosh G4 orders placed with Apple or resellers before 13-Oct-99, provided they were secured by some form of payment (such as a deposit or purchase order).
		Apple can't afford to reduce demand artificially by de-emphasizing Power Macintosh G4 models, since market share is still key to Apple's public perception.
