It's awesome! That design, so beautiful! It runs mac os x 10.1 puma, but for iTunes and Mail its good! Faster than my 3000mhz pentium 4 computer. My PowerMac has a 400mhz processor, 256mb RAM and was made on february 9 1999 Since 1 april this is my computer! It’s awesome! That design, so beautiful!

I believe it was the first Power Mac where.. the graphics was an not an integrated part of the processor, which meant the graphics performance was a crazy leap forward.. The graphics card also spelled the first time apple supported Open GL. It was the first PowerMac with no disk drive.. which many a company needed to authorize there software.. in my case this was an issue with Cubase.. and even with a usb disk drive there were issues.. and it would be a while before a USB midi interface would even hit the market. I bought what I think was pretty much first firewire interface.. the MOTU 828.. that and my USB MIDI interface I'm still using today.. all be it on an 8 Core Mac Pro It featured the first buss, at least on the Apple line, that was big enough to handle full screen Standard Def video.. without having to buy expensive extra stuff This was the first computer I ever bought.. and omg was it awesome!
