Power Mac G4 (QuickSilver)

Compared with the Power Mac G4 (Digital Audio), this model has a restyled silver case with a built-in Harman Kardon speaker. It came with a single 733 or 867 MHz G4 or dual 800 MHz G4 processors. The 867 MHz and dual models have 2 MB of L3 cache per processor and a SuperDrive, while the 733 MHz model has no L3 cache and a CD-RW drive. The Ultra ATA/66 drive bus and the four PCI slots did not change.
