The second generation of PowerBook G3s, now called the PowerBook G3 Series, was introduced in May 1998. The machine was completely redesigned with a new case that was lighter and more rounded than the previous PowerBook G3; however, it was still an [[Old World ROM]] Macintosh. The new PowerBooks, code-named Wallstreet, came in three screen sizes: a 12" passive matrix LCD, a 13.3-inch TFT LCD, and a 14.1-inch TFT LCD. The 12.1" models had 2&nbsp;MB VRAM onboard, while the 13.3" and 14.1" models were equipped with 4&nbsp;MB VRAM allowing for 'millions of colors' at maximum resolution (1024×768 for both; the 13.3" having a higher pixel density). The 13.3" display came with a quick-to-fail ribbon cable that was produced too short, leading to a swath of warranty repairs that led Apple to remove the 13.3" model from the lineup after the initial production run. The Wallstreet was the first PowerBook to use industry-standard [[AT attachment|ATA]] optical drives. This change meant that CD and DVD recorders designed for [[Wintel]] machines could more easily be used in this computer, often at a price far less than those manufactured by Apple. It also came in three CPU speeds: 233&nbsp;MHz, 250&nbsp;MHz, and 292&nbsp;MHz. The 233&nbsp;MHz model was sometimes nicknamed Mainstreet, as it lacked L2 cache, making it far slower than the other two in the lineup. The 250&nbsp;MHz and 292&nbsp;MHz models shipped with 1&nbsp;MB of cache. Because of this large cache, as well as the swifter system bus, the Wallstreets were known to suffer from some heat issues. Many of the problems of the Wallstreet PowerBook G3s were fixed in the next revision, the Wallstreet II. The WallStreet I was the last PowerBook assembled by Apple in [[Cork (city)|Cork, Ireland]].<!-- Unsourced image removed: [[Image:Powerbooks copy.jpg|500px|thumb|right|A PowerBook G3 along with an older Powerbook.]] -->
