The PowerCenter Pro was available in desktop and tower configurations, with speed ranging from 180-240 MHz using the PPC 604e processor. The CPU was on a daughter card for ease of upgrade. These computers had a 60 MHz bus speed which made them faster than comparable machines at the time.
The PowerBase was available in low profile and minitower configurations, with speed ranging from 180-240 MHz using the PPC 603e processor. The CPU was on a daughter card for ease of upgrade.
The PowerTower Pro came in a tower configuration with speed ranging from 180 to 250 MHz using the PPC 604e processor. The CPU was on a daughter card for ease of upgrade.
The PowerTower came in a tower configuration with speed ranging from 166-200 MHz using the PPC 604 or 604e processor. The CPU was on a daughter card for ease of upgrade.
The PowerCenter was available in low profile, desktop, and tower configurations, with speed ranging from 120-180 MHz using the PPC 604 processor. The CPU was on a daughter card for ease of upgrade.
The PowerCurve was a desktop computer with a 120 MHz PPC 601 processor. The CPU is on a daughter card for easy upgrade. It was the first Power Computing clone to use PCI slots instead of NuBus. It was also the first to use VGA instead of Apple’s larger 15-pin video connector.
The PowerWave was a desktop computer with a 120 to 150 MHz PPC 604 processor. The CPU is on a daughter card for easy upgrade, just like the Power Mac 7500, 8500, and 9500.
The Power series was Power Computing’s first generation Mac compatible. As faster PowerPC 601 CPUs became available, Power bumped this model from 80 MHz to 100 MHz, and then to 120 MHz.
