The Power Macintosh 9500 was launched in mid-1995. It was sold in Europe under the name Power Macintosh 9515. It was the successor to the Macintosh Quadra 950. It was equipped with a PowerPC 604 processor, 16 MB of operating memory, which could be expanded up to 768 MB (and unofficially twice as much), a hard disk with a capacity of 1 or 2 GB and a four-speed CD drive. It was the first Apple computer to support 168-pin DIMM memory modules (twelve in total), and also the first Macintosh to use the PCI standard (six PCI slots in total). Apple later released several Power Macintosh 9500 models, the most powerful being the Power Macintosh 9500/200, which offered a 200 MHz PowerPC 604e processor, up to 32 MB of RAM, a 2 GB HDD, and an eight-speed CD drive.
