Power Macintosh 7300/166

Power Macintosh 7300/166

Compared with the Power Macintosh 7600/132, this model dropped the video input ports. It runs a 166 MHz PowerPC 604e, which has twice the L1 cache of the 7600's 604. The desktop case, the three PCI slots, the removable processor card and the eight DIMM slots did not change. Apple sold this model only in Europe and Asia.
