There was also the Power Macintosh 9500/180MP back in 1996, equipped with two 180 MHz PowerPC 604e CPUs.
MacOS didn't support multi processors natively (it couldn't schedule different programs on different CPUs or anything), so it was only useful as basically a "Photoshop accelerator"
- OnlyMortal 2y agoIf I recall correctly, there was a version of MPI, or something similar, that could be used.
