The Power Macintosh 9500 (the 132 MHz model is also known as Power Macintosh 9515 in Europe and Japan) is a high-end Macintosh personal computer which was designed, manufactured and sold by Apple Computer from May 1995 until early 1997. A gibibyte (a contraction of gi ga bi nary byte) is a unit of Information or Computer storage, abbreviated GiB. A DIMM, or dual in-line memory module, comprises a series of Dynamic random access memory Integrated circuits These modules are mounted on a Printed System 7 (codenamed "Big Bang" and sometimes called Mac OS 7) is a single-user Graphical user interface -based Operating system for Macintosh Mac OS 8 is an Operating system released by Apple Computer on July 26 1997. Mac OS 9 is the final major release of Apple's "Classic" Mac OS. For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic Japan topics. Macintosh, commonly nicknamed Mac is a Brand name which covers several lines of Personal computers designed developed and marketed by Apple Inc A personal computer ( PC) is any Computer whose original sales price size and capabilities make it useful for individuals and which is intended to be operated Apple Inc, ( formerly Apple Computer Inc, is an American Multinational corporation with a focus on designing and manufacturing Consumer electronics It is powered by a PowerPC 604 processor, a second-generation PowerPC chip which was faster than the earlier PowerPC 601 chip. The PowerPC 600 family was the first family of PowerPC processors built PowerPC is a RISC Instruction set architecture created by the 1991 Apple – IBM – Motorola alliance known as AIM The PowerPC 600 family was the first family of PowerPC processors built The CPU was connected via a daughterboard, and so could be swapped easily. A daughterboard or daughtercard is a Circuit board meant to be an extension or "daughter" of a Motherboard (or 'mainboard' or occasionally another Available were single-processor cards ranging from 120 to 200 MHz, and a dual processor card with two 180 MHz CPUs. It was the first Macintosh to use the PCI standard, with six PCI slots available, with one always needed for the graphics card. The Peripheral Component Interconnect, or PCI Standard (commonly PCI) specifies a Computer bus for attaching peripheral devices to a Computer A video card, also known as a graphics accelerator card, display adapter, or graphics card, is a hardware component whose function is to The basic design of the logic board, called "Tsunami", was used by various Macintosh clone makers as a reference design ^[1]. A logic board is the Apple Macintosh equivalent of a Motherboard. A Macintosh clone is a personal computer made by a manufacturer other than Apple, using (or compatible with Macintosh ROMs and System software The 9500 was superseded by the Power Macintosh 9600 in February 1997. The Power Macintosh 9600 (Codename "Kansas" also sold with additional server software as the Apple Workgroup Server 9650) is a Personal computer
