Power Macintosh 6500/250

Power Macintosh 6500/250

Compared with the Power Macintosh 6400/200, this mini-tower runs a 250 MHz PowerPC 603e on a 50 MHz bus and has no soldered memory, so all RAM goes in DIMM slots. It was the faster of the two 6500 models launched in February 1997. Some 6500 configurations from 250 MHz up came with video input and output.
