Dual-core, quad-core
Introducing the dual-core PowerPC G5 processor: one silicon chip with two independent processor cores. Take two of those dual-core chips and you have the groundbreaking Power Mac G5 Quad. You can manipulate mountains of images or miles of footage, crunch enormous data sets, encode video or music and more — all at speeds you never imagined possible.

Serial ATA (SATA), developed by Seagate as a founding member of the SATA-IO, replaces ATA and provides faster transfer of data with more flexibility in systems design. As the first, truly native SATA drive, Seagate SATA encourages a wide range of storage applications.

PCI Express is the latest I/O interconnect technology that will replace the existing PCI. With a bus bandwidth 4 times higher than that of AGP 8X interface, PCI Express x16 bus performs much better than AGP 8X in applications such as 3D gaming. PCI Express x1 also outperforms PCI interface with its exceptional high bandwidth up to 500MB/s. The high speed PCI Express interface creates new usages on desktop PCs e.g., Gigabit LAN, 1394b, and high-speed RAID systems.
