The Apple Macintosh
PowerBook G4/667 DVI (Digital Visual Interface) features a
667 MHz PowerPC 7451 (G4) processor with the AltiVec
"Velocity Engine" vector processing unit and 256k on-chip
level 2 cache (3.),
a 1.0 MB level 3 cache (DDR SDRAM)
(4.),
256 MB of PC-133 SDRAM, a 30.0 GB Ultra ATA/66 (4800 RPM)
hard drive, a slot-loading 8X/8X/8X/24X DVD/CD-RW Combo
Drive, an ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 (AGP 4X) video controller

networking. The PowerBook G4 DVI series shares the same
stunning 1-inch thick Titanium case, full-size keyboard, and
lightweight power adapter as earlier PowerBook G4 models,
but adds faster PowerPC G4 processors with level 3 cache, a
higher-resolution 15.2" TFT widescreen display (1280x854), a
faster video controller with more VRAM, and a DVI port.
