It was powered by either a 120 or 132 Mhz 604 processor, a higher speed version of the 601. The big news about the 9500, however, was its 6 PCI slots. It was the first Mac to comply with the PCI industry standard. The 9500 came in a full tower case, and had 7 internal drive bays. Like the old Mac II, the 9500 came with no graphics capability–a third party add-on card was required. The most innovative feature of the 9500 was that it’s processor came on a daughtercard, making future upgrades much less expensive. The 9500 cost $5,300, and was “speed bumped” to 150 Mhz in April 1996. In August 1996, The 9500 was speed bumped again to a 200 Mhz 604e processor and a multiprocessing twin 180 Mhz 604e-based 9500 was released. The 9500 was replaced in early 1997 by the 9600.

No interest will be charged on promo purchase balance, and equal monthly payments are required on promo purchase until it is paid in full. The payments equal the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next whole dollar. These payments may be higher than the payments that would be required if this purchase was a non-promo purchase. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to the prior months’ rounding. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
