Discontinued=November 10 ,1997 The Power Macintosh 7300 (Codename: "Montana"; also sold with server software as theApple Workgroup Server 7350) is apersonal computer that is a part ofApple Computer 'sPower Macintosh series of Macintosh computers. It was introduced at a processor speed of 180 or 200 MHz (in Europe and Asia, an additional 166 MHz configuration was available) in February 1997 alongside thePower Macintosh 8600 and thePower Macintosh 9600 . It replaced both thePower Macintosh 7200 and thePower Macintosh 7600 , and was itself discontinued in favor of thePower Macintosh G3 desktop model in November 1997.The 7300 uses the same "Outrigger" case as its predecessors, but features an enhanced PowerPC 604e CPU. However, it no longer came with the video in capability the 7600 had, which possibly accounts for the fact that this is the only time that Apple used a lower model number for an upgraded model [ [http://www.lowendmac.com/ppc/7300.shtml Power Macintosh 7300] at Low End Mac] . Apart from that, the 7300 is more closely related to the 7600 than to the 7200, with features such as a processor daughtercard and interleaved RAM. The 7300/180 model was also available in a "PC compatible" configuration that included a 166 MHz
Pentium processor with its own RAM (up to 64 MiB) on a PCI card which also provided a PCgame port .External links
