You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.211.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:53, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Power Macintosh 9600''' (also sold with additional server software as the '''[[Apple Workgroup Server|Apple Workgroup Server 9650]]''') is a [[personal computer]] that is a part of [[Apple Inc.|Apple Computer]]'s [[Power Macintosh]] series of [[Mac (computer)|Macintosh]] computers. It was introduced in February 1997 alongside the [[Power Macintosh 7300]] and [[Power Macintosh 8600|8600]], and replaced the [[Power Macintosh 9500]] as Apple's flagship desktop computer.

The 9600 was replaced by the [[Power Macintosh G3]] Mini Tower in Apple's product lineup in November 1997, with sales of the 9600 continuing until March 1998.

== Models ==
When introduced, the Power Macintosh 9600 was available with three processor configurations: single-processor 200 MHz, dual-processor 200 MHz, and single-processor 233 MHz. The line was updated in August 1997 with a single-processor 300 MHz or 350 MHz [[PowerPC_600#PowerPC_604ev_.22Mach5.22|"Mach 5" 604ev]] with a larger [[L2 cache]], priced at $4,500 and $5,300, respectively.<ref name="infoworld19970811">((Cite magazine |last=Walsh |first=Jeff |date=August 11, 1997 |title=350-MHz Mac among Apple's onslaught |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QTwEAAAAMBAJ&q=infoworld+1997+macintosh+8600&pg=PA15 |magazine=InfoWorld Magazine |page=15))</ref>  An updated Workgroup Server 9650 was introduced at the same time with a 350 MHz CPU, and could be ordered pre-configured as an application server, [[AppleShare]] server or Internet server, with prices ranging from $6,800 to $7,500 USD depending on the software package chosen.<ref name="infoworld19970811" />

The 350 MHz model was initially discontinued in October due to CPU supply problems,<ref>((Citation |last=Tafael |first=Kathy |title=Power Macintosh G3 Kicks Ass |date=January 1998 |url=https://archive.org/stream/MacAddict-017-199801/MacAddict-017-199801-BobKiwi-v1#page/n43/mode/2up |work=MacAddict |page=42))</ref> but reintroduced on February 17, 1998<ref name="Apple9600350"/> when the 300 MHz model was discontinued in favor of the new [[Power Macintosh G3]] Mini Tower.  While the G3 was faster, its expandability was only on par with the 8600, so the 9600 was kept available until March for users that required it.

== Hardware ==
[[File:Apple 820-0865-A Power Mac 9600 Motherboard-0928.jpg|alt=|thumb|150x150px|The "Tsunami" logic board the Power Macintosh 9600 inherited from the [[Power Macintosh 9500]]]]
The 9600 came in the same new case as the 8600, but was internally very similar to the 9500 that preceded it, with 12 memory slots and 6 [[Peripheral Component Interconnect|PCI]] expansion card slots instead of the 8 memory and 3 PCI slots on the 8600.<ref name="apple9600/233">((Cite mac |model=Power Macintosh 9600/233 |appleNumber=SP399 |everyURL=powermac/stats/powermac_9600_233.html |accessdate=March 12, 2023))</ref> The 9600 used the new [[PowerPC 600#PowerPC 604e|PowerPC 604e]] CPU, an enhanced version of the 9500 [[PowerPC 600#PowerPC 604|604]]. 

[[File:TwinTurbo128M8A.png|thumb|150px|IMS IXMICRO TwinTurbo 128<br/>video card]]
Like its predecessor, the Power Macintosh 9600 has no built-in video; instead, it shipped with an 8 MB [[Integrated Micro Solutions (company)|IXMICRO]] TwinTurbo 128-bit PCI video card installed. 

The Power Macintosh 9600/350 was the most powerful Mac ever in Apple's four-digit model numbering system, the last multiprocessor Mac for three years, and the last model with six or more expansion slots until the [[Mac Pro#Lattice tower or rack (2019)|2019 Mac Pro]]. No version of OS X was officially supported by Apple on the 9600; its installation and use required the use of the third-party software solution XPostFacto. Mac OS X 10.3 or 10.4 was only possible with a G3 processor upgrade installed, and OS X 10.5 was possible with a G4 upgrade. The 9600 was part of the final generation of Macs to ship with a [[SCSI]] hard drive as a standard feature; subsequent Macs adopted [[Parallel ATA|IDE]] for the internal hard drive bus.
