Breaking through barriers in desktop processing, The Customized 2GHz Power Mac G5 Computer with 250GB Hard drive system is offered to meet the needs of creative professionals, media producers, educators, researchers, and businesspeople. The 64-bit PowerPC G5 accelerates all types of applications, thanks to Dual 2GHz processors, an optimized Velocity Engine, and two floating-point units. It also features PCI-X, technology which makes this workstation ideal for HD video and other high-bandwidth applications.
With a 1GHz frontside bus per processor and high-speed, high-capacity memory, creative applications rip through the work at a blazing high speed. Whether you're at work or at play, you'll enjoy eye-popping graphics with ATI Radeon 9800 XT Graphics Display Card. The built-in SuperDrive now burns DVDs at 8x Speed. It also provides high-bandwidth connections for a full range of industry-standard, high-performance peripherals. An innovative enclosure design uses a superefficient thermal zone scheme and low-speed fans to stay cool and quiet. Mac OS X and 32-bit application code run natively at processor speed, so you can keep using the world's most advanced operating system and all your favorite software.
With highly programmable shader engines and OpenGL feature sets, it brings the most detailed worlds to life with movie-quality lighting, textures and effects.
The ATI Radeon 9800 XTs SMARTSHADER 2.1 rewrites the rules for realism with its 128-bit floating-point color precision, enabling hyper-realistic imagery to be displayed with billions of color variations. And with its eight parallel rendering pipelines, a 256-bit wide memory interface and support for the AGP 8X standard, this card delivers tremendous performance at the highest resolutions and detail settings.
For added cooling efficiency, an internal air deflector channels airflow over the processor heat sinks and the PCI slots. Most of the fans spin at very low speeds for minimum acoustic output.
