Kijiji ad: Looking for a Power Macintosh 5000 series all in one computer

Hello there and welcome to another Kijiji ad. For those of you who don’t know what a Power Mac 5000 series computer is, It is a computer that was first released in 1995 and it was meant to replace the Macintosh LC 575. The Power Macintosh 5200 is said to have the logic board of a Macintosh Quadra 630 with a PowerPC chip on it. On the Macintosh Quadra or LC 630 it makes sense, because it’s a Motorola 68040 based computer, but on the Power Macintosh 5200 it limits it’s performance, because of the PowerPC chips having greater capabilities than the Motorola 68040 chip. The Power Macintosh 5400 used the “Alchemy” platform, which was the same exact platform used on the Power Macintosh 6400. Even tough the Power Macintosh 6400 was far superior than it’s predecessor, it was still unsuitable for playing mid 90’s mac games, because of it being limited to only 136 mb (If upgraded). Compared to the Power Macintosh 7300 or the monstrous Power Macintosh 9600, that’s very low. If  have one of these computers that you would like to throw away, please let me know and here’s the link.
