64-bit Performance
The PowerPC architecture was designed from
the beginning to run both 32-bit and 64-bit
application code, offering seamless transition
to 64-bit performance. Current 32-bit code
— such as Mac OS X,the Mac OS 9 Classic
environment and existing applications —
runs natively at processor speed.With no
interruptions to your workflow. And no
additional investment in software required.
Graphics and Display Support
◆ Compared with the AGP 4X interface, the
Power Mac G5’s AGP 8X Pro graphics bus
effectively doubles the maximum transfer
rate and doubles the amount of data trans-
ferred in a single AGP bus cycle.The
66MHz AGP 8X Pro bus strobes eight
times per clock cycle,achieving a 533MHz
data rate and a maximum bandwidth of
2.1GB per second — ideal for the ultrafast
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro or NVIDIA GeForce
FX 5200 Ultra graphics cards they include.
◆ Supports 1920 x 1200 pixel digital resolu-
tions and 1600 x 1200 analog resolutions
◆ ADC and DVI connectors; DVI to VGA
adapter included
◆ Dual display support for extended desktop
and video mirroring modes
◆ Support for two Apple flat panel displays
Storage and Expansion
◆ Two Serial ATA controllers supporting up to
150-MBps data throughput per hard drive
◆ Two 3.5-inch hard drive expansion bays
with drive guides for a second drive
– One 80GB or 160GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA
drive installed in standard configurations
– Support for up to two internal Serial ATA
drives; 500GB maximum system capacity
–8MB memory buffers on all hard drives
◆ Optical drive bay with SuperDrive (DVD-
R/CD-RW) installed; writes DVD-R discs
at up to 4x, reads DVDs at up to 8x,writes
CD-R discs at up to 16x and CD-RW discs
at up to 10x, reads CDs at up to 32x speed
◆ One of the following PCI expansion con-
figurations: Three open full-length 64-bit,
33MHz PCI slots, or one open full-length
64-bit, 133MHz PCI-X slot and two open
full-length 64-bit 100MHz PCI-X slots.
DVD-R/CD-RW SuperDrive
The SuperDrive,standard on all models, comes with the software needed to create your own
DVDs — faster than ever before.With iDVD preinstalled and with optional DVD Studio Pro
software,the G5 is a complete DVD production studio.And it’s the fastest on the planet,too.
And if you want to watch a DVD while your work is burning, or archive material at the same
time, all Power Mac G5s offer a second optical bay. Choose a combo DVD/CD-RW to fill it up.
• Read and burn both CDs and DVDs that can be played in most consumer DVD players.
• SuperDrive (DVD-R/CD-RW) reads DVD titles at 8x and writes to 4.7GB DVD-R discs at 4x.
• Also reads CDs at 32x, writes to CD-R at 16x,and writes to CD-RW at 10x.
• It supports DVD-Video, DVD-ROM and DVD-R, as well as CD-ROM,CD-Audio,CD-R, CD-
RW, CDI, CD Bridge, CD Extended, CD Mixed Mode and Photo CD.
The power of UNIX and the elegant simplicity of Macintosh
Work and play with the most advanced operating system on the planet. Mac OS X
Jaguar gives you technology such as preemptive multitasking, symmetric multiprocess-
ing and multithreading to take advantage of dual processors. Beyond that, Quartz
Extreme routes graphics tasks to the processor on your graphics card, freeing the dual
PowerPC G4 chips to crunch more data. Plus there’s a whole host of new software to
simplify your digital life and make you more productive. For example, PixelNhance:
◆ PixelNhance is real-time image
enhancement software from Caffeine
Software. PixelNhance lets you quickly
and easily determine the best image
adjustment settings for your digital
images. Your image appears in a unique
split-screen window with the original set-
tings on one side, and your current set-
tings on the other.
◆ Enhance brightness and contrast, color
saturation, tone saturation, sharpness
and noise reduction. You can
horizontally, vertically, or diagonally
move, as well as rotate, the dividing bar
that separates the two regions. And as
you adjust the settings in the Controls
window, the effects are immediately
visible on the image.
