Power Mac G4 Quicksilver // Review/Overview // 2017

This is my Power Mac G4 Quicksilver review of 2017, this one is in great condition and its working perfect, it has all stock components and has never been messing around with, so it looks just as when it left the factory back in 2001.

The Specs are

PowerPC G4 Quicksilver
CPU: 800Mhz G4
RAM: 1.25Gb SDRAM (1.5Gb maximum)
HDD: 40Gb + 160Gb for storage
Graphics: ATI Radeon 7500 32Mb
Optical Drive: CD-RW
Mac OS Version: 10.4.11


At Macworld Expo New York on July 18, 2001, a new line debuted featuring a cosmetically redesigned case known as "Quicksilver", but only minor technical changes. It was available in 733 MHz, 867 MHz and dual 800 MHz configurations. The 733 MHz model was notable for not having a level three cache.

The design was updated on January 28, 2002 with 800 MHz, 933 MHz and dual 1 GHz configurations, becoming the first Mac to reach 1 GHz. Again, the low end 800 MHz model did not include any level three cache. The graphics in this series were provided by an nVidia GeForce4 MX card. Some of these models have ATA controllers with 48 bit LBA for hard drives larger than 128 GB. This later series is commonly known as Quicksilver 2002.

This is going to be a very collectable computer in the future and they are already selling for about 250-350 Euros in great working condition. I will keep this one for as long as possible i think.
