Like the Power Macintoshes 7300 and 9600, the 8600 featured the new PowerPC 604e and 604ev CPU, an enhanced version of the PowerPC 604 used in the predecessor models 8500 and 9500. It used the same new case as the 9600, but was considerably less expandable (8 instead of 12 RAM sockets, 3 instead of 6 PCI slots) at a lower price, a distinction that was carried over from the x500 generation. The 8600 was plagued with supply problems from the beginning, and only in June 1997, four months ofter its introduction, the computer was widely available. The 300 MHz model was also delayed after its introduction, but not as heavily as the original model had been had been.
