for $2,999
CUPERTINO, CaliforniaMarch 8, 2001Due
to higher than expected volumes of the blazingly fast PowerPC G4
733 MHz processor, Apple® today introduced a new configuration
of its fastest Power Mac G4 for customers eager for speed.
The new 733 MHz Power Mac G4 with CD-RW drive has an aggressive
suggested retail price of $2,999 (US), enabling even more customers
to take advantage of Apples fastest professional desktop.
Motorola is exceeding their plan and can now
deliver greater than anticipated quantities of the blazingly fast
733 MHz processor. Previously, the PowerPC G4 733 MHz processor
was only available in the $3,499 Power Mac G4 configuration which

a wider audience, sooner.
The Power Mac G4 comes preinstalled with Apples
new iTunes digital jukebox software and iMovie 2, the latest

video editing software. iTunes lets users import songs from their
favorite CDs into their Power Mac G4; organize their music; watch
stunning visualizations on their computer screen; and create custom
music CDs with the Power Mac G4s CD-RW drive. iMovie 2 features
a refined user interface with Mac® OS X-like design elements;
