Power Macintosh 4400


Comments
The Power Macintosh 4400 combines Macintosh performance and ease of use with a streamlined, cost-effective design and outstanding compatibility with the PC world. The 4400 features the RISC-based PowerPC 603e processor. The 4400/200 has two PCI expansion slots with one comm II slot for flexibility in configuring the system to provide additional capabilities. The 4400 is somewhat odd in that its floppy disk drive is placed to the left side of the CD-ROM drive, unlike all other Macs. Like most inexpensive Windows clones of the time, the 4400 employs an inexpensive jagged metal case to save on cost.
