Description

Apple's Power Macintosh 7200/120 combines affordability with high performance to provide an ideal system for small and medium-size businesses, for home offices, and for running productivity applications in any size of organization. Based on high-performance RISC technology, the Power Macintosh 7200/120 computer features a 120-megahertz PowerPC 601 processor. And if your performance needs later increase, this system can be upgraded to a Power Macintosh 7600/120 system, which features video-input capabilities and processor upgradability.

The three industry-standard Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) expansion slots on the Power Macintosh 7200/120 let you customize the Power Macintosh 7200/120 computer easily to more precisely meet your needs. You can find many PCI cards for a variety of uses, including graphics, storage, and high-speed networking. And if you want to use your Power Macintosh 7200/120 to run MS-DOS and Windows applications as well as software written for the Macintosh, you can install an Apple PC Compatibility Card in one of the system's PCI slots--and switch instantly between the two computing environments.

Connecting your Power Macintosh 7200/120 computer to an Ethernet network is easy, because it includes both AAUI and 10BASE-T connectors. With an optional PC Compatibility Card, you can connect both the card and Power Macintosh to a network simultaneously.

Today, more and more computer users are discovering the wealth of information, and communications resources, and opportunities offered by the Internet. The Power Macintosh 7200/120 makes it easy to get involved in this rapidly expanding community, because it comes with all of the software you need for easy Internet access.

So whether you need power and expandability for everyday number crunching, office productivity, or an innovative multimedia project--or want a fast, easy way to get started with the Internet--the Apple Power Macintosh 7200/120 offers the features you need at an affordable price.
