That meant that the cheapest QuickSilver was the same speed as the most expensive Graphite. On the inside, the QuickSilver started at 733 MHz for $1,699. The drive doors and handles were more refined, and the front panel’s main feature was a large speaker.Ĭompared to its siblings, the QuickSilver looks downright plain, but I think it is my favorite of the three designs. It traded in its pinstripes for smooth gray plastic.

This second-generation case was cleaner and more professional looking. Just a few months later, in July 2001, Apple took the wraps off the Power Mac G4 (QuickSilver), a whole new case design that is my personal favorite of the three. The high-end $3,499 model came with Apple’s then-new SuperDrive, which could read and write both CDs and DVDs, a first in the Mac line. The base model’s RAM and storage had increased since the first model, now coming with 128 MB of RAM and a 30 GB hard drive for $1,699. This final Graphite G4 came with faster expansion slots, Nvidia GPUs on most models, and a new built-in amplifier designed to drive USB speakers. Only the 533 MHz model could be custom-ordered with dual processors, thanks to supply constraints out of Motorola.

The new models featured a new and distinctive case, but the technical upgrades in this model were only minor over the previous Server G4. Both had a CD-RW and an optional Zip 250 drive. The high-end model ran dual 800Mhz processors and had a 72Gb hard drive. The low-end configuration ran at 733Mhz and had an 80Gb hard drive and 128Mb or RAM.

The Macintosh Server G4 (QuickSilver) was housed in the same new case as the Power Mac G4 (QuickSilver).
