| aliasfox's Full Review: Apple Power Macintosh G4 Multimedia |
You don't know the word speed in reference to computers unless you've tried this computer. Absolute amazing graphics, and AMAZING speed. I do not doubt Appl's claims on this machine. And the OS is the thing that can't support re than 1.5 gigs of RAM, but the motherboard can support 2 gigs. Just to clear that up.
First let's start with the outside. Clean lines, remarkable color and wow class. This computer just exudes style, even more than iMac (iMac designers, take note)
Graphics on this machine are luscious, thank's to the extremely powerful ATI Rage 128 pro. Velocity Engine (powerful sub processor) also helps a lot. Except for the slightly chunky DVD playback, which I have been told is software controlled.
I was forced to buy a separate uncoordinated monitor because Apple monitors are too expensive, Minor Quibble.
I've only mentioned graphics. If you want this computer get extra speakers. I recommend the Sonigistix Monsoon series. A bit pricey, but like this computer, well worth the cost.
