With the release of the of the 233MHz and 266MHz versions of the PowerMacintosh G3 All-in-one successfully under its belt, Apple is ready to 'Think Faster' when it comes to these educational beasts. And may we add, Apple's pricing continues to improve.

What's New?
Sources positioned within the outer boundaries of Apple's educational ring have confirmed plans to announce a 300MHz version of the ever-popular PowerMacintosh G3 All-in-one, code named Artemis. According to our sources, the new version of the PowerMacintosh G3 All-in-one will ship standard with a 300MHz G3 chip and most notably, 64MB of RAM (as opposed to 32MB of RAM in all previous models).

According to our sources, the unit will ship in exactly the same plastics as the 233MHz and 266MHz versions of the PowerMacintosh G3 All-in-one, and will share an identical motherboard with three 7-in PCI slots, and 3 DIMM slots allowing a total of 384MB of RAM. A 15.1" (13.8-inch diagonal viewable image size) display is standard in all models.

The Price is Right
While pricing information has not yet been made final, sources report that the final price of the 300MHz All-in one will land somewhere in the range of $1999 to $2199. Quite impressive considering the additional 32MB of RAM, and of course, the 300MHz G3 processor.

The 300MHz PowerMacintosh G3 All-in-one will ship in a standard configuration, and will be available for custom configuration via the Apple Educational Online Store. Educational venues should expect the arrival of this speed daemon between June and July of this year.

With the appearance of this image also comes the rumor that this casing may be fair game for the Artemis project. However, this is strongly unconfirmed by our sources.
