Power Macintosh 8100/80
Towers1994Uncommon
The Power Mac 8100 was the performance option in Apple's first PowerPC lineup, running at 80 or 100 MHz in a full tower with three NuBus slots. At a time when most computers were still running at 66 MHz 486 speeds, the 8100 was genuinely fast by any measure. Its successor, the 8500, is credited with making desktop digital video editing mainstream.
