The Power Macintosh 5260/100 computer brings 100-MHz PowerPC processor performance to a new low cost. And this is a system that can grow as your needs change, with such options as 256K of Level 2 cache memory to further boost processor performance, and a wide variety of multimedia, networking, and communications expansion cards.
The Power Macintosh 5260 is an all-in-one system, so it's economical, easy to set up, and easy to start using. And it's optimized for multimedia, with built-in features and expansion slots that let you enjoy stunning graphics, video, and audio now, and add advanced features later.
Already included in the main unit are a 14-inch color display (diagonal viewable image size 12.3 inches), an 800-megabyte hard disk, a 1.4 MB floppy disk drive, a quadruple-speed CD-ROM drive, a microphone, and stereo speakers. The whole system is on a tilt-and-swivel base that lets you position it precisely for the most comfortable viewing. A keyboard and mouse are also provided.
The 16-bit sound provides high-quality audio playback through the built-in stereo speakers or external speakers (not included). You can record voice, music, and other audio of your own choosing through the front microphone or the rear audio-input port.
Multimedia expansion is easy on the Power Macintosh 5260 computer. Your computer comes with special slots for video-input, TV-tuner, and communications or networking cards. A general-purpose slot supports a variety of expansion options, such as an MPEG card for viewing CD-ROM-based movies and interactive "edutainment" programs. You can also add video-output capability to display your Macintosh screen on a TV or a projection system, or to record your work on a VCR.
