=== 1994β1997 === Apple named Power Macintosh models from this period after the first pre-PowerPC model of Macintosh to use a particular form factor, followed by a slash and the speed of the CPU. For example, the Power Macintosh 6300/120 uses the [[Macintosh Quadra 630|Quadra 630]]'s form factor and has a {{nowrap|120 MHz}} CPU. Machines with "AV" in their name denote variants that include extended audio-video capabilities. Machines with "PC Compatible" or "DOS Compatible" in their name include a [[Compatibility card|separate card]] with an x86-compatible CPU, typically a [[i486|486]] or [[Pentium (original)|Pentium]]; these models are therefore capable of running [[MS-DOS]] and [[Microsoft Windows]] applications, typically [[Windows 3.1]] (for earlier PC Compatible machines pre-1995) or [[Windows 95]] (for later PC Compatible machines since 1995). Machines with "MP" in their name denote machines that include two CPUs. These early models had two distinct generations. The first generation uses the [[PowerPC 601]] and [[PowerPC 600|603]] processors and used the old [[NuBus]]/[[Processor Direct Slot|PDS]] expansion slots, while the second generation uses the faster 603e, 604 and 604e chips as well as industry-standard [[Conventional PCI|PCI]] expansion slots. The second generation also makes use of [[Open Firmware]], allowing them to more easily boot alternate operating systems (including [[MacOS|OS X]] via [[XPostFacto]]), though [[Old World ROM|use of various hacks was still necessary]]. ==== Power Macintosh 4400 ==== [[File:Power Macintosh 7220.jpg|thumb|The Power Macintosh 7220]] The Power Macintosh 4400 is a desktop case with a height of {{nowrap|5.4 inches}}, suitable for horizontal placement with a monitor on top. * [[Power Macintosh 4400]]/160, 200, 200 (PC Compatible) (Marketed as the Power Macintosh 7220 in some regions) ==== Power Macintosh 5200 ==== The Power Macintosh 5200 is an all-in-one form factor with specifications and internal designs similar to the Quadra 630.
