Announced in November 1997, The PowerMac G3 knocked the 9600/300 out
of the fastest-mac-on-the-planet mark by nearly 10%. Based on a newly
designed motherboard (code-named "Gossamer") which ran at a
blazing-fast 66 MHz, the G3 was the first Apple-branded Mac to ship
with the new PPC 750 Processor.
The G3 came in either a mini-tower case (similar to that of the 8600 & 9600, but shorter) or a 7300-style
desktop case, and operated at either 233 or 266 MHz. The PowerMac
G3 Desktop, available at 233 or 266 MHz came with 16-bit Audio In and
Out on a separate "personality" card and an internal Zip drive.
The G3 MiniTower model, which initially was
only available at 266 MHz, had a different personality card, which
offered all the features of the desktop card, plus 4 MB of VRAM
(expandable to 6 MB) 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. The PowerMac G3 was discontinued in January 1999, when
it was replaced by the Blue & White G3.
