The Power Macintosh 9600/350 came out when Apple was facing some stiff competition from clone manufacturers. As a speed bump to the 300MHz 9600, the 350MHz machine was a real workhorse sporting a 604e processor with 1 MB 100MHz "in-line" L2 cache, a fast SCSI drive, 6 PCI slots, a fast video card with plenty of VRAM and a 24X CD ROM drive. The machine also had an internal Zip drive and one free drive bay (5.25") The 9600 came with 64 MB of RAM and the motherboard's 12 RAM slots allowed you to upgrade (currently) to a whopping 1.5GB of memory. This professional machine was fairly short lived as the upcoming, faster, G3 machines were nipping at it's heals The 9600's case is very easy to get into - you sort of roll it apart. . Below you will find the MacBench 4.0 results for the current processor upgrades available for this machine. Results marked in blue indicate that benchmark results were done by us. All other processor card results were provided by the upgrade manufacturer. The bar graphs below express results as a percentage of improvement over the base machine, which receives a score of 100%. Further down the page you will find a table with the actual MacBench score. ** Note that MacBench does not take advantage of the Velocity Engine (AltiVec instructions) of the G4. For AltiVec accelerated applications you can see a 1.4 to 4 times performance improvement over the G3, depending on the application and the functions you are trying to perform.
