Notes

The Minimum System Software for the 200 MHz configuration was 7.5.5, and it used a PowerPC 604e processor, which included 32 kB data and instruction caches. The 132 MHz and 200 MHz configurations shipped with 8x and 12x CD-ROM drives, respectively.

The PowerMac 7600 was a 7500 with a 120 MHz 604 processor. (a new number was given to the 7600 as a result of the new processor type) In August 1996 the 7600 was "speed bumped" to 132 MHz. The 7600 was replaced in early 1997 by the 7300. There was also, briefly, a 200 MHz 604e 7600 Model.
