Key Points

Three key points to remember about a PowerPC processor- based Macintosh system: It's a Macintosh; it's compatible; it offers tremendous performance.

Apple's PowerPC computers feature the same user interface as their 680x0-based predecessors. Users can mix RISC- based and 680x0-based Macintosh systems on the same net- work and exchange files and disks between them. In addition, users can run both 680x0 and native PowerPC applications on the same Power Macintosh system simultaneously.
