Loaded with features that give you the power to make Desktop Movies, create your own music CDs and even author DVD titles, the Power Mac G4 is hands down the most evolved computer — make that supercomputer — on the planet. Models include 733MHz, 667MHz, 533MHz and 466MHz single-processor configurations, and the dual processor 533MHz Power Mac G4 (available from the Apple Store). And if you pick a model with a built-in DVD-R/CD-RW SuperDrive, you not only get iMovie video editing software (pre-loaded on every new Power Mac G4), you also get Apple’s revolutionary new iDVD software — the easiest way ever to turn Desktop Movies into interactive DVD videos. 
The Power Mac G4 is a phenomenally powerful computer. This power is
especially evident when it performs processor-intensive tasks in
creative and scientific applications. In fact, at speeds of 5.5
gigaflops, the new 733MHz PowerPC G4 processor with Velocity Engine is
up to 57% faster than a 1.5 GHz Pentium 4. (1)Studio in a box The Power Mac G4 comes with easy-to-use power tools for creating music CDs, interactive DVD videos and Desktop Movies. Every model, for instance, includes iTunes software and a CD-RW drive that lets you burn your own CDs. 
iTunes turns your Power Mac G4 into an audio entertainment center.
Besides letting you listen to CDs and hundreds of Internet streaming
radio stations, iTunes enables you to create, play and organize MP3
files into playlists. And when you’ve lined up a list of songs in the
order that you want to hear them, iTunes lets you burn your own music
CDs. It’s as easy as clicking the Burn CD button after you’ve popped a
blank CD-R disc into the built-in CD-RW drive.
A Power Mac G4 with the DVD-R/CD-RW SuperDrive is the easiest way to turn Desktop Movies into DVD videos, using iDVD
software. iDVD, which comes with Power Mac G4 models that feature the
DVD-R/CD-RW SuperDrive, lets you author interactive DVDs with
drag-and-drop simplicity. And if you have a burning desire to produce
professional-level DVDs, you can add DVD Studio Pro for a complete set of interactive authoring and production tools for use on your Power Mac G4.Improved system architecture and expandability The new Power Mac G4 has an improved system architecture featuring a new 133MHz system bus which can move data at speeds of over 1 gigabyte per second. And with five slots (one AGP 4x graphics and four high-performance PCI slots), plus an AirPort Card slot, FireWire ports and USB ports, the massively expandable Power Mac G4 lets you pursue your evolutionary ideas on an even grander scale. The AGP 4X graphics slot, incidentally, comes loaded with a graphics accelerator. Most models feature the state-of-the-art NVIDIA GeForce2 MX accelerator with 32MB of SDRAM for blazing-fast 3D performance, but you can choose the ATI RADEON card instead if you prefer. Networking performance is equally gratifying, especially when you have big pipes: built-in Gigabit Ethernet lets you shoot large files across your LAN at previously undreamed of speeds.

Power Mac G4 models with the DVD-R/CD-RW SuperDrive are the first computers to ship with everything you need to record DVD titles for playback on most standard DVD players. The awesome new DVD-R/CD-RW SuperDrive reads DVD titles at 6x (7.8 megabytes per second), and writes to 4.7-gigabyte DVD-R discs at 2x (2.6 megabytes per second). The SuperDrive also reads CDs at 24x, writes to CD-R at 8x, and writes to CD-RW at 4x. It supports DVD-Video, DVD-ROM and DVD-R, as well as CD-ROM, CD-Audio, CD-R, CD-RW, CDI, CD Bridge, CD Extended, CD Mixed Mode and Photo CD media. That’s why it’s called the SuperDrive. Power Mac G4 models with the built-in SuperDrive not only come pre-loaded with iMovie, they also give you Apple’s revolutionary new iDVD software for creating your own DVD titles. Professionals will want to augment that with Apple’s award-winning Final Cut Pro software (for sophisticated editing, compositing and special effects) and DVD Studio Pro (a complete set of interactive authoring and production tools for producing professional-level DVDs from start to finish).
