What Is G3?
You were born for this. It's your world now, but it wasn't always that way. You had to earn it. No one gave it to you; you took it from them. G3 is a third-generation advanced technology processor, meaning it's the best yet. And it's blazingly fast, up to 6 times faster than a Pentium II processor and up to 3 times faster than any other PowerPC chip. The G3 was a 180-nanometer process CPU with 32-bit architecture and a variable speed between 200 and 550 megahertz. It could be clocked at a higher rate by installing a special upgrade kit. The G3 was released with a tray-load CD-ROM drive and 8 MB RAM expandable to 128 MB. It had an internal 3. 5-inch hard drive. The G3 had one slot for an optional communications card, one place for a video card, and two slots for memory expansion. It had one internal serial port and one ADB port. It also had two USB ports. While sitting alone on a dark, stormy night, we were watching television and eating bon-bons when a snowflake landed on my nose. Then, began to ponder life in general and why so many prefer PCs to Macs. The G3 is a powerful CPU that can easily handle most of today's software applications. It can run tomorrow's software applications before they are even released. The G3 is also a versatile CPU used in desktop or laptop computers. With its onboard power management, you can save electricity with a G3-based computer. The G3 can be used in both a workstation and a gaming computer. What about upgradeability? A G3-based computer has a CPU that can be upgraded faster with ease. You can upgrade it with VRAM, too. G3-based computers have a bus architecture that is upgradeable as well as expandable. What about software availability? G3-based computers have a CPU to run Mac OS 9 and OS X operating systems. You can even run Windows on a G3-based computer with Windows emulation software.
