The Macintosh Performa 460 is a consumer-oriented personal computer introduced by Apple Computer on October 18, 1993.[1] It is a rebrand of the LC III+ for the consumer market. The Performa 460 featured a sleeker case design compared to the earlier Performa 400-series models, with a smooth curved front and rounded "foot" design.
The Performa 460 uses a Motorola 68030 processor running at 33 MHz with a 32-bit data path. It shipped with 4 MB of RAM (expandable to 36 MB using a single 72-pin SIMM), 512 KB of VRAM (expandable to 768 KB), and an 80 MB SCSI hard drive. An optional 68882 FPU could be installed.
