64-bit Supercomputer for Digital Imaging
The world’s fastest personal computers and the first with a 64-bit processor — which
means they break the 4 GB barrier and can use up to 8 GB of main memory, Apples
new G5 line combines rock solid engineering reflective of the full-throttle Xserve archi-
tecture with new technologies for massively enhanced output and connectivity. Available
at speeds up to dual 2GHz with a new ultra-high bandwidth system architecture featuring
AGP 8X and PCI-X these turbocharged Power Mac rips through digital video and audio
projects faster than Pentiums can say “uncle”.
Jointly developed by Apple and IBM, the 64-bit PowerPC G5 processor supports up to
8GB of 400MHz, 128-bit DDR SDRAM — four times more than a typical PC. More main
memory and fast 6.4 GBps throughput means you can write large projects to memory
40x faster than to a hard disk.
Available in three powerful configurations — 1.6GHz, 1.8GHz and a dual 2GHz model,
they each feature the legendary 4X SuperDrive (DVD-R/CD-RW), three PCI-X slots, one
FireWire 800 and two FireWire 400 ports, three USB 2.0 ports (plus two USB 1.1 ports on
the keyboard), ADC connector, DVI connector, analog audio I/O, optical S/PDIF I/O,
front headphone and speaker jack and built-in Gigabit Ethernet — as standard. In addition,all are AirPort Extreme-ready,
and offer Bluetooth capability as a build-to-order option. Finally, each Power Mac G5 is supported by Mac OS X’s robust
foundation, which features multithreading and symmetric multiprocessing for an additional performance boost.
Exceptional Performance
◆ The latest in PCI technology, the PCI-X
protocol is perfect for high-performance
PCI devices, increasing speeds from
33MHz to 133MHz and throughput from
266MBps to 2GBps.
◆ Gigabit Ethernet, FireWire, USB 2.0 and
optical digital and analog audio are all
integrated through two bidirectional 16-
bit, 800MHz HyperTransport interconnects
for a maximum throughput of 3.2GB per
second.
◆ Ultra-high bandwidth system architecture
features a 1GHz frontside bus — one on
each processor — for maximum through-
put.And a point-to-point system controller
lets data move directly between subsystems,
without affecting processor function.
◆ Designed for whisper-quiet operation, the
Power Mac G5’s enclosure houses four dis-
crete thermal zones to compartmentalize
the primary heat-producing components.
Fans in the zones spin at very low speeds
resulting in a system three times quieter
than the Power Mac G4.
FEATURES
iPhoto
Digital cameras are revolutionizing
the way we take pictures. Now,
Apple provides the missing link to
revolutionize the way we save,
organize, share and enjoy them.
You can do more with your digital
pictures using iPhoto, the cool soft-
ware application in the easy-to-use
tradition of iTunes, iMovie and
iDVD. And with iPhoto 1.1 there are
even more features for you to use.
◆ iPhoto lets you import your pictures from your digital camera, organize them, edit and
improve them, and share them in a number of different ways. And once you see what
iPhoto can do with digital pictures, you may never go back to using a film camera again.
◆ Just plug your camera into Mac’s USB port and iPhoto automatically imports your pho-
tos, catalogs them, stores them and displays them on your screen. Drag your mouse,
and iPhoto magically grows or shrinks your photo thumbnails right before your eyes. So
you can view individual shots in greater detail for precise cropping. Or see hundreds of
photos on the screen at once, and quickly scroll through thousands to find the one
you’re looking for. No more scavenger hunts to find pictures on your hard drive.
