Guide
The Apple Power Macintosh 7500/100 computer is a professional computer with a
new architecture that offers more flexible capabilities than previous models.
If you need increased performance and expandability for your business,
regardless of its size, the 7500/100 delivers--and preserves your investment
into the future.
Built-in video input capability, high-resolution graphics (up to 1,280 by
1,024 pixels), and CD-quality stereo sound add vitality to everyday business
projects and let you explore new computer-enabled applications. For example,
the Power Macintosh 7500/100 optimizes the transfer of video data between a
network and the computer's display monitor, making this an ideal system for
videoconferencing. Apple's own QuickTime Conferencing software is even
included.
Power Macintosh 7500 systems include three Peripheral Component
Interconnect (PCI) expansion slots. Because PCI is an industry standard, you
can find inexpensive PCI cards for a variety of uses, including
video-conferencing, connection to faster peripherals, and high-speed
networking. Many PCI cards include the necessary software to work with
Macintosh systems. PCI support allows you to standardize on one type of card in
your organization, saving you support time and dollars.
Connecting your computer to an Ethernet network is easier than ever with
the Power Macintosh 7500,because it includes both AAUI and 10Base-T
connectors.
With a PowerPC 601 RISC processor running at 100 megahertz that you
can upgrade to an even more powerful 604 processor, the Power Macintosh
7500/100 gives you all the advantages of PowerPC technology now--with plenty of
room to grow later.
Power Macintosh 7500 systems run most applications written for 680x0-based
Macintosh computers, as well as applications that have been accelerated to
take advantage of their PowerPC processors. By adding SoftWindows software from
Insignia Solutions, you can also run MS-DOS and Windows applications,
enabling the 7500 to fit into almost any computing environment.
Whether you are selecting computers for a large corporation or a
one-person home office, the Power Macintosh 7500/100 system's PowerPC
performance and PCI expandability offer the versatility you need for
professional computing.
