Power Macintosh 8500/180

Compared with the Power Macintosh 8500/150, this model replaced the PowerPC 604 with a 180 MHz PowerPC 604e, which has twice the L1 cache. The minitower case, the three PCI slots and the built-in video input and output did not change. It was the last 8500 before the 8600 replaced the line in February 1997.
