The Apple Power Macintosh 6400/180 and 6400/200 are among the most powerful, expandable, easy-to-use multimedia computers you can get. Continuing Apple's multimedia leadership, their robust features make them ideal systems on which to learn, create, and communicate.
A state-of-the-art RISC-based PowerPC 603e processor running at 200 megahertz or 180 megahertz (depending on the system configuration) delivers the performance you need to run an abundance of powerful multimedia applications.
As you'd expect from Macintosh systems, the Power Macintosh 6400/180 and 6400/200 computers include a host of features that will bring your multimedia applications to life. A built-in 8x-speed CD-ROM drive delivers smooth video and audio. A 64-bit video architecture and 1 mega-byte of video memory provide high-quality video and realistic graphics on monitors up to 17 inches (diagonal measurement) in size. These systems also feature 16-bit CD-quality stereo input and output, SRS surround sound, and a subwoofer speaker--a combination that will add a whole new audio dimension to your multimedia experience.
With 16 megabytes of RAM (expandable to 136 megabytes), the Power Macintosh 6400/180 and 6400/200 computers have the memory to run powerful multimedia applications. And the 1.6-gigabyte or 2.4-gigabyte hard drive gives you all the storage you'll need for a long time to come.
For connecting to the Internet, the Power Macintosh 6400/180 and 6400/200 offer easy access through the Apple Internet Connection Kit, which features Netscape Navigator software. And with built-in Ethernet, exchanging e-mail and browsing the World Wide Web through your network are a snap.
If you need compatibility with MS-DOS or Windows software-based computers, a Power Macintosh 6400/180 or 6400/200 gives you several choices. You can share floppy disks and files by using Macintosh PC Exchange and Macintosh Easy Open software (both included). SoftWindows from Insignia Solutions (available separately) lets you run Windows applications right on your Power Macintosh system. For the ultimate in compatibility, Apple's optional PC Compatibility Card puts a 100-megahertz 586-class processor right in your computer.
