Apple PowerMac G5 Dual 2.5GHz

Start your next project on the ultimate creative platform. Each of the four Power Mac G5 models offers lightning-fast performance, built on G5 processors running at up to 2.5GHz. A 64-bit processor with two double-precision floating-point units, two integer units and support for symmetric multiprocessing, the G5 combines an optimised Velocity Engine with a superscalar, super-pipelined execution core that can execute more than 200 simultaneous in-flight instructions. This high-bandwidth core has over 12 discrete functional units that process massive amounts of instructions in parallel.
Exquisitely Advanced Technology
With 64-bit power and high-bandwidth architecture, this groundbreaking system alleviates the limitations and bottlenecks of the traditional PC — opening up a wealth of possibilities for 2D and 3D designers, video and audio producers, scientists, researchers and game developers and players. The industry’s fastest frontside bus, an advanced system controller and high-speed, high-capacity memory combine to make the Power Mac G5 one of the fastest PCs ever built.
Plugged In
It’s easy to plug printers, scanners and other devices into the Power Mac G5. In addition to sporting a full complement of ports on the back, the front panel of the Power Mac G5 offers FireWire 400 and USB 2.0 ports, as well as a headphone jack. Gigabit Ethernet, FireWire, USB 2.0 and optical digital and analogue audio are integrated through an 800MHz bi-directional HyperTransport bus.
Eight Times the Drive
Every Power Mac G5 comes with SuperDrive, now at 8X DVD-R. Burn data backups right from your desktop or proof-of-concept DVDs using iDVD, included with iLife. Import iDVD projects into DVD Studio Pro for professional authoring.
