The Apple Macintosh
Performa 588CD features a 33 MHz 68LC040 processor, 8 MB of
RAM, and a 500 MB hard drive in a relatively-compact
all-in-one case with a 14" color display. The Performa 588CD
appears to be identical to the Performa
580CD, but perhaps
varied by software bundle. This model was sold in Asia and
Europe, but the educational version, the LC
580, was sold
worldwide.

Notes:
|
1.
This model is sometimes designated as having a 66 MHz
processor,
since
the clock input runs at 66 MHz. However, the processor
itself
is
not "clock doubled", so technically it is only a 33 MHz
processor.
2. 1 MB of built-in 60
ns DRAM is dedicated to video function.
3.
Second SIMM slot only uses single-sided SIMMs (1, 4, 16
MB).
4.
14" Sony Trinitron RGB display.
5.
In inches, height x width x depth.
