Compared with the Power Mac G4 (AGP Graphics), this model made Gigabit Ethernet standard, a first for a personal computer. It added dual-processor models at 450 and 500 MHz beside a single 400 MHz model. Its graphics card has the Apple Display Connector, which carries video, USB and power on one cable. The case did not change.
