Overview Hardware Software
MAGNA 250
This is sheer power in disguise. The MAGNA 250 is the optimal partner for all applications in the area of image processing, scanning, interactive multimedia, Desktop Publishing, and layout. Partcularly software which is not multiprocessing-capable, can work to its full power in the MAGNA 250. Here runs the brand new PowerPC 750 ("Arthur" or "G3") from Motorola, which not only offers a main clock of 250 MHz, but also applies the architecture of a "backside cache". The level-2 cache of 512 KB size gets accessed at a clock rate of 125 MHz. Additional 512 KB are provided as level-3 cache. High resolution 3-D graphics (128 bit) with 8 MB SGRAM, 48 MB working storage, Ethernet adaptor, 24x CD-ROM, and a 4 GB SCSI harddisk complete the high standard of the MAGNA 250.
