The Umax SuperMac C600x/280, based on the Alchemy architecture, features a 280 MHz PowerPC 603e processor, 32 MB of RAM, a 4.0 GB hard drive, and a 2 MB video card in an industry-standard tower case. Like its slower brother, the C600x/240, this model includes Umax's "CacheDoubler" technology, which allows "faster access to cache by bypassing the system bus and doubling the processor-level 2 cache bus speed."
