The Macintosh Quadra 900 was a high-end personal computer introduced with the Quadra 700 in October 1991 as Apple Computer's first computers in the Quadra series using the Motorola 68040 processor. It was discontinued in 1992, and succeeded by the very similar Quadra 950. The Quadra 900 could be upgraded to 256 megabytes of RAM—an astronomical amount for the time. The standard, as-shipped configuration for the 900 was 4MB. The high RAM and storage capacity, along with the expandability of 5 NuBus 90 slots and fast 25 MHz processor made it a very useful computer for scientific or design work. It was the first Mac to be built in a full tower case, featuring a single 5.25" bay. Quadra 900 and 950s with full complements of RAM were exceedingly rare, due to the high cost (many thousands of dollars) of the SIMMs at the time.
