Apple Mirrored Door G4
Powermac Dual 1gHz Quicksilver system
The Apple Power Macintosh G4/1.0 MDD, the second series of Power Macintosh G4 models with "Mirrored Drive Doors" and based on the architecture used by the Xserve, features a 1.0 GHz (1000 MHz) PowerPC 7455 (G4) processor with the AltiVec "Velocity Engine" vector processing unit, 256k level 2 on-chip cache and 1 MB level 3 backside cache.
In addition, this model ships with 256 MB of PC2100 DDR SDRAM, a 60.0 GB (7200 RPM) Ultra ATA/100 hard drive, a 12X/32X/10X/32X DVD-ROM/CD-RW Combo Drive, a NVIDIA GeForce4 MX (AGP 4X) video card with 64 MB of DDR SDRAM, a digital audio sound system with a highly-efficient Tripath "Class T" amplifier, and a FireWire "800" port and, with optional cards, support for AirPort Extreme (802.11g) and Bluetooth 1.1.
The case is similar to earlier Power Macintosh G4 models, and has the same fold down door on the side that makes upgrading very easy, but also sports decorative indentions on the front reminiscent of the "Ventiports" on a 1949 Buick Roadmaster and two "mirrored finish" external drive bays. This model shipped with the Apple "Pro" keyboard and optical mouse. Custom configurations were also available. This mac will work with a standard SVGA crt screen, such as those sold by Computer Displays. If you require a computer monitor for use with your mac, they would be happy to advise you.
