Apple Power Macintosh 4400 - Manual (Page 205)

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Macintosh. Your computer is
designed to give you the highest performance combined with real ease of
use—it’s easy to set up, easy to use, and easy to expand. This book will guide
you through the setup procedure, tell you how to expand your Macintosh, and
provide many tips on using your new system.
Your Macintosh computer is powered by the † ™ microprocessor
(or “chip”). This microprocessor was designed by Apple Computer, Inc.,
Motorola, Inc., and IBM Corporation. The † microprocessor uses
Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) technology to deliver very high
performance at the lowest possible cost. The † RISC microprocessor
represents the state of the art in microprocessor design.
Your new Power Macintosh will run almost all of your existing Macintosh
software, but for best performance and greatest speed, look for the new
software programs designed especially for computers that contain the
† microprocessor. You’ll find † microprocessor–compatible
programs at any software store that carries products for the Macintosh
computer.
