PowerLogix breaks GHz upgrade barrier with 1 GHz module
By Michael Flaminio, Insanely Great Mac
June 12th 2002
PowerLogix announced today new G4 upgrades for PowerMac G4 systems.
PowerLogix Wednesday announced a new crop of G4 upgrades for Apple''s current and
recent PowerMac G4 systems. The upgrades are one of the few such products announced
for Apple''s G4 line.
The upgrade modules are based on Motorola''s new Apollo 7455 G4 chips and will be
available in speeds ranging from 750 MHz to 1 GHz. The upgrades are specifically for
Power Macs running on a 100 MHz and 133 MHz system bus. The upgrades will feature four
128-bit AltiVec units, 256K L1 cache and unspecified varying L3 cache.
"We are excited to be the first manufacturer to market upgrades with speeds up to one
gigaHertz," said Robert Jagitsch, President. "Adding a PowerForce G4 card can provide
performance surpassing a new machine for a lot less money."
According to PowerLogix, the upgrades are installed through a CPU module replacement.
The upgrades are compatible with all PowerMac G4 systems except the PCI "Yikes" model
and the G4 Cube. PowerLogix notes that the PowerMac G4 PCI Graphics (Yikes) PowerMac
requires a G4 ZIF upgrade.
The PowerForce G4 Series 100 for 100 MHz system bus Macs are expected to be available
in July, while the PowerForce G4 Series 133 for 133 MHz system bus Macs are expected
in July. Pricing are to range between $449 and $749.
