Macintosh LC III

Compared with the Macintosh LC II, this model replaced the 16 MHz 68030 with a 25 MHz 68030, and Macworld measured about double the performance. Memory takes one 72-pin SIMM, for up to 36 MB instead of 10 MB. The case did not change. It launched at US$1,349 with an 80 MB disk, US$700 less than the LC II.
