iMac Special Edition (Early 2001)

iMac Special Edition (Early 2001)

Compared with the iMac DV Special Edition (Summer 2000), this model has a faster 600 MHz G3 processor, ATI Rage 128 Ultra graphics and a 40 GB hard drive. A CD-RW drive replaced the DVD-ROM drive, so it can burn music CDs with iTunes. It came in Graphite or the new Blue Dalmatian and Flower Power patterns.
