The "Power Mac G4 Cube" officially known as the
Apple Power Mac G4/500 Cube, boasts a 500 MHz PowerPC 7400 or 7410 (G4)
processor, complete with the AltiVec "Velocity Engine" vector
processor and a 1 MB backside cache. Initially, it came with 128 MB of RAM, a
30 GB Ultra ATA/66 hard drive, a slot-loading 5X DVD-ROM drive, and an ATI Rage
128 Pro graphics card with 16 MB of SDRAM on a 2X AGP slot, retailing at
US$2299. Options for customization included AirPort (802.11b) support, along
with various hard drives and graphics cards.
The Power Macintosh G4/450 Cube was available through
retailers, however this version, the Power Macintosh G4/500 Cube was only sold
directly through Apple
Unlike the larger Power Macintosh G4 (Gigabit) models of the
time, which featured PCI slots, a full-length AGP slot, four RAM slots, and
four drive bays, the compact Power Mac G4 Cube lacks these features. It has no
PCI slots, a shortened AGP slot, only three RAM slots, and a single drive bay.
Additionally, it omits analog audio inputs and outputs, opting instead to use
USB for audio output. Despite these differences, it still delivers substantial
power in a sleek eight-inch cube design. For maintenance and upgrades, the
cube's internal housing easily slides out from the bottom, allowing access to
its components.
