Power Mac G3

In 1997 the first third-generation ("G3") Power Macintosh was introduced, using the PowerPC 750 processor. From this model onward, Apple no longer used a numbering scheme to identify their PowerMac models, but instead referred to them by their PowerPC processor generation number.

There were four PowerMac G3 models produced. They include the Desktop, Tower, All-in-One and the Blue and White.
