Though its external case was based on that of the Performa 6200 and 6300, it actually had more in common with the more advanced Performa 5400 and 6400. Its logic board, code named "Alchemy", supported PowerPC 603e processors on a faster PCI bus, unlike the LC-based architecture of its predecessors. Two 168-pin slots allowed RAM to be upgraded from the base 8 MB soldered onto the motherboard, to a maximum of 136 MB. It contained 1 MB of VRAM that could support up to 8-bit color at a resolution of 832 x 624 pixels and 16-bit color at 640 x 480 pixels. There were three different expansion slots: a PCI slot (which may require a ), a Comm Slot II for an internal modem or Ethernet card, and a video-in slot that could accept connection to an Apple TV Tuner Card. The CD-ROM and external hard drives were connected through a SCSI bus. The internal hard drive was connected through an IDE bus. The built-in floppy drive supported 1.44 MB high-density disks.Power Mac 6360-series by Pete Sealy et al., MacGurus. Accessed 2021-02-15.
