All Mac Server G4 Models | All 2001 Models | Dynamically Compare This Mac to Others

The Apple Mac Server G4/533 DP (Digital Audio) features dual 533 MHz PowerPC 7410 (G4) processors each with the AltiVec "Velocity Engine" vector processing unit and 1 MB of backside cache. It shipped configured with 256 MB of RAM, a 36 GB or 72 GB Ultra160 SCSI hard drive (and a corresponding PCI card), a 32X CD-ROM drive, and a 4X AGP NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX graphics card with 32 MB of SDRAM in a translucent "graphite" enclosure with a "fold down door" on the side that makes the system extremely easy to upgrade.

For all practical purposes, all models in the Mac Server G4 series are identical to another model in the Power Macintosh G4 series, but the server models often shipped with larger or faster hard drives and more RAM, and always with pre-installed server software. The Mac Server G4/533 (Digital Audio), in particular, is based on the dual processor configuration of the Power Macintosh G4/533 (Digital Audio), but originally shipped with MacOS X Server.

Despite the age of this system, site sponsor Other World Computing has RAM, hard drives, SSDs, and other upgrades available for this specific Mac while supplies last.
