The Xserve Cluster Node was geared towards education and enterprise markets. It could be used for a variety of purposes including acting as a file server, a web server in addition to clustering high-performance applications. sam
The Workgroup Server 9650 ran a PowerPC 604e at 233Mhz. The hard drive had 4Gb of space, a 12x or 24x CD-ROM and a 1.4 floppy drive. The RAM was expandable to 1.5 Gb via the 12 EDO or FPM DIMM slots. It had a ixMicro TwinTurbo graphics card and six PCI slots. There was only a single analog audio in and out in addition to the built-in speaker. sam
The Xserve RAID (SPF) was developed to go along with Xserve in high-performance computing and file server functions. It was basically a device that allowed for mass storage. The price for the Xserve RAID (SPF) was between $5,999 and $10,999 depending on the configuration. sam

As a cheaper version of other computers in the Macintosh II line, some features were limited to cut costs. There were fewer expansion slots and lesser video capabilities. The speakers also suffered from some technical problems and were known to fail. sam
The first speed bump to the professional-level Power Mac line in more than a year, the Power Mac G4 (Digital Audio) offered a faster processor and a vastly improved set-up for digital audio. The fastest configuration was also the first Mac to come with the new “SuperDrive” as the optical drive, which allowed users to read and burn CDs and DVDs. sam
In addition to the speed increases over its predecessor, the Power Mac G4 (FW 800) offered several new features. There was a new FireWire 800 port and it supported Bluetooth wireless. It also supported AirPort Extreme (802.11g). Though less expandable than previous models, these were the fastest Power Macs ever made. sam

The Centris 660AV/Macintosh Quadra 660AV had many features which had not been seen in Macintosh before. Speech recognition, the ability to talk, digitized sound were combined with the new digital signal processor that enabled the 660av to handle all the sound and video information. sam
The release of the PowerBook G4 family in three sizes offered a speed bump to the entire PowerBook line. They featured faster logicboard designs and improved graphics abilities. AirPort Extreme cards were now standard in all of the machines. sam
The Macintosh IIfx was the high-end model of its day with a price range of between $10,000-12,000. Everything in the computer was designed for maximum speed and performance. Software had to be written especially for the IIfx that would take advantage of the speed capabilities. sam
