Macintosh Performa 6320CD

The Macintosh Performa 6320CD is a powerful and versatile system that brings you increased system speed and built-in video-in and TV tuner capability.

The Apple Macintosh Performa 6320CD computer uses a state-of-the-art PowerPC 603e processor running at 120 megahertz to deliver the highest performance available to date in the Performa product line.

The Performa 6320CD will meet your needs well into the future, not only with its robust performance, but also with a 1.2-gigabyte hard drive— large enough to store applications and information for years to come.

This affordable system includes multimedia features that can be expensive add-ons with other computers.

A quadruple-speed CD-ROM drive accesses CD-based data quickly and plays audio and video segments smoothly. Stereo 16-bit sound provides high-quality audio playback, while an audio-input port lets you record your own sounds. The Performa 6320CD also includes the Apple TV/Video System, which allows users to connect to external video sources and capture images as well as view television programming with the aid of a TV antenna.

The machine also comes with special features for telephony. The high-speed internal fax modem works with the Apple PlainTalk microphone (included with the computer) and special software to let you use the computer as a speakerphone and a digital answering machine.

A trial version of America Online is included with every Performa 6320CD computer. Subscribers can access World Wide Web sites, Internet electronic mail— and, of course, the news and information provided by America Online.

The 6320CD is a complete, ready- to-use multimedia system. Packed in one box are the computer (with Apple System 7.5 software already loaded), a color display, a keyboard, a mouse, an internal modem, and a microphone. Also included are more than a dozen home, education, and home-business programs, plus a collection of multimedia reference CDs.
