NEW MacPro Memory 800Mhz With Apple Spec Heat Sink 2GB Kit $104 / 4GB Kit $184 / 8GB Kit $362 Click to Maximize your Macs...
Second Class Macs are Apple's more compromised hardware designs. For the most part, they're not really bad - simply designs unable to work as well as they should have.
The first desktop Mac finished in an attractive black
color, the Mac TV was pretty much a crippled LC 520 with a TV tuner instead of an expansion
slot.
Crippled because where the LC 520 could be expanded to 36 MB, Mac TV could only go from the stock 5 MB to 8 MB.
It did have 16-bit video for TV images, but the Mac OS could only use 8-bit video. On the plus side, you could capture a single frame of a 16-bit TV image to disk.
Although it uses a 32 MHz 68030 CPU, Mac TV benchmarks slower than the 25 MHz LC III and LC 520 because Apple ran the CPU on a 16 MHz bus.
If you're very tight for space, don't need a lot of memory, and aren't interested in a lot of speed, the beautiful black Mac TV is a really cool find, although it's not much of a Mac.
But with no expansion slot, an 8 MB RAM ceiling, and poor
performance, the gorgeous-but-crippled Mac TV earns the title of Road
Apple - the oldest Mac with this designation.
