Basics Power Macintosh System Overview - 1 Power Macintosh System Overview PowerPC microprocessors are a family of processors built on reduced instruction-set computing (RISC) technology. RISC processors streamline the internal workings of computers. Whereas traditional (complex instruction-set computing, or CISC) processors contain a wide variety of instructions to handle many different tasks, RISC processors contain only those instructions that are used most often. When a complex i

Basics Power Macintosh System Overview - 2 Previously, RISC technology had been used only in high-end workstations and commercial database servers. With the introduction of Macintosh PowerPC computers, Apple succeeded in bringing RISC technology to personal computing. Key Points Three key points to remember about a PowerPC processor- based Macintosh system: It's a Macintosh; it's compatible; it offers tremendous performance. Apple's PowerPC computers feature the same user interface a

Basics Power Macintosh System Overview - 3 Compatibility is not limited just to applications. INITs, CDEVs, drivers, and other Macintosh utility software also work on PowerPC processor-based Macintosh systems. So do AppleTalk devices (such as printers), SCSI devices (such as hard drives and scanners), ADB devices (such as mice, trackballs, and keyboards), and other Macintosh cards and peripherals. The primary operating system for PowerPC processor- based Macintosh computers is System 7

The only difference is that the AV versions have the Power Macintosh AV Card installed in the PDS slot. The Power Macintosh 7100/66 and 7100/80 systems must have a video card installed in the PDS slot. These systems use the Power Macintosh 2 MB Video Card. A missing card can result in a system that won't boot or a system that crashes.
