Power Mac G3 Minitower

Compared with the Power Macintosh 8600/200, this model moved to the PowerPC G3 processor at 233 to 300 MHz on a 66 MHz bus. It uses the 8600's minitower case, which has more drive bays than the G3 Desktop. It moved the main hard drive to ATA and the memory to SDRAM, and it replaced the built-in video with an ATI Rage chip. Apple added faster processors in August 1998.
