The model that I’m talking about is the 450 megahertz model with the Sawtooth motherboard. These Sawtooth macs performed much faster than the lower end Yikes G4 and they performed insanely fast as I’ll show you when I demonstrate it. However, the higher-end G4s had a new motherboard design called Sawtooth. I might again do a seperate article on the Yikes G4 since it’s a computer with a PowerPC G4 processor on a Power Macintosh G3 motherboard minus the ADB Port. The lower end Power Mac G4 came with a 400 or 350 megahertz PowerPC G4 processor. I say “Graphite” in quotations, because it looks more like a navy blue depending on how the camera hits it.

The Power Mac G4 came out in August of 1999 and did away with the colourful aqua blue colour scheme in favour for a more professional looking “Graphite”. But, it was first professional grade Mac to follow the design trends of the iMac G3. I’ll talk about this computer in a seperate article. Long story short, in January of 1999, we were introduced to the Power Macintosh G3 Blue and White. For now, let’s focus on the holy trinity of the original Power Mac G4 lineup. I’ll eventually get to reviewing the other models of the Power Mac G4 if I can obtain them. I might do a separate article on each different model of the Power Mac G4 since it had a lot of changes in it’s 5 year lifespan. Hello there and welcome to 2020, everyone! What better way to start a new decade than looking back on one of the best retro Macs, the Power Mac G4! More specifically, the original Power Mac G4 that first came out in Augand was discontinued in Januwith the introduction of the Digital Audio Power Mac G4s.
