Power Macintosh 7300

Introduced: February 1997
Terminated: Late 1997

Description

Running a PowerPC 604e processor at speeds of 166, 180 or 200Mhz, the Power Macintosh 7300 had a 2Gb hard drive.  It had a 12x CD-ROM and a 1.4Mb floppy drive.  The RAM was expandable to 1Gb via eight DIMM slots.  There were three PCI slots, audio inputs/outputs and a built-in speaker.

History

The Power Macintosh 7300 was a replacement for the 7200, however it brought with it the most important feature of the discontinued 7600-the CPU was positioned on the daughtercard, which means that it was upgradeable.  It was two times faster than the 7200 and it was less expensive.  The downside of the 7300 was that it did not have RCA stereo audio inputs/outputs.  It also didn’t have video inputs and outputs.

  • Replica watches are the facsimile or prototype of their real counterparts. They are made following the exact designs and looks of the original watches. The difference lies in the material used to make them. Unlike Breitling Replica. Omega Replica, original watches are made of genuine stuffs like gold and platinum and are studded with real diamonds, as well.
    However, materials used to make Replica Tag Heuer Watches are worthwhile. They do not appear inferior to the original watch either in grandeur or longevity. Replica Rolex Watches  on the other hand belong to a category which at best can be called cheap and unworthy. They never give you your desired level of satisfaction. A fake watch is never an exact replacement of a designer or
