PowerMac G3/266 AV (Minitower)

The PowerMac G3 knocked the 9600/300 out of the fastest Mac mark by nearly 10 percent (at 266MHz). The G3 minitower was one of the first Apple-branded Mac to ship with the PowerPC 750 (G3) processor. It had a personality card, which offered all the features of the desktop card, plus 4MB of VRAM (expandable to 6MB) and S-video In and Out. In March 1998, Apple added a 300 MHz option on all built-to-order machines, as well as a dual-SCSI configuration, with RAID software, and an optional DVD-ROM drive. A 3rd-party solution was required for MPEG-2 video playback. A 333 MHz version was made available in September 1998.
