Description

If your profession demands a high-performance, expandable computer that can
handle any media as easily as text, the Apple Power Macintosh 8500/120
system is for you. Featuring a new Power Macintosh architecture with even
greater multimedia capabilities than previous models, the 8500/120 is the
system of choice for in-house publishing, media authoring, and technical
applications.
Built-in video input and output capability of near-broadcast quality,
high-resolution graphics (up to 1,280 by 1,024 pixels), and CD-quality
stereo sound add vitality to professional projects and let you explore new
computer-enabled applications. For example, the Power Macintosh 8500/120
supports the capture of quarter-screen video in real time. Combine this
capability with Apple's QuickTime software, and media authoring has never
been easier.
Three Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) slots let you take advantage
of a wide range of high-performance expansion cards. Because PCI is an
industry standard, you can find inexpensive PCI cards for a variety of uses,
including video compression, video production, and high-speed networking.
Many PCI cards include the necessary software to work with Macintosh
systems.
With a PowerPC 604 RISC processor running at 120 megahertz that you can
upgrade yourself when faster versions become available, the Power Macintosh
8500/120 offers high-end PowerPC technology now--with plenty of room to grow
later.
Power Macintosh 8500 systems run most applications written for 680x0-based
Macintosh computers, as well as applications that have been accelerated to
take advantage of their PowerPC processors. By adding SoftWindows software
from Insignia Systems, you can also run MS-DOS and Windows applications,
enabling the 8500 to fit into almost any computing environment.
The Power Macintosh 8500/120: Exceptional performance for handling even the
most complex computing tasks and enhancing your creativity.
