The three industry-standard Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) high-performance expansion slots on the Power Macintosh 7600/132 let you customize this computer easily to meet your needs more precisely. You can find PCI cards for a variety of uses, including graphics, storage, and high-speed networking. And if you want to use your Power Macintosh 7600/132 to run MS-DOS and Windows applications as well as software written for the Macintosh, you can install a PC Compatibility Card from Apple in one of the PCI slots -- and switch instantly between computing environments.

Connecting your Power Macintosh 7600/132 computer to an Ethernet network is easy because it includes both AAUI and 10BASE-T connectors. If you install an optional PC Compatibility Card, you can connect from both the card and the Macintosh logic board simultaneously for incredibly versatile networking capabilities.

Today, more and more computer users are discovering the wealth of information and communications resources and opportunities offered by the Internet. The Power Macintosh 7600/132 makes it easy to get involved in this rapidly expanding community.

Whether you are selecting a computer for a large corporation or a single-person home office, the Power Macintosh 7600/132 system offers PowerPC performance and PCI expandability to give you the versatility you need for professional computing.
