Sonnet announces 1GHz upgrades
By ron carlson, Insanely Great Mac
July 17th 2002
These upgrades are based on Moto''s new 7455 chips and will ship in August
Sonnet Technologies has introduced the fastest single processor Macintosh upgrades
ever developed with the announcement of two new Encore/ST G4s. These 800 MHz and 1GHz
processor upgrades for Power Mac G4 machines utilize the new 7455 series of Motorola
G4 chips and have 2MB DDR (Double Data Rate) L3 backside cache, delivering processor
performance of up to three times that of the original systems. The Encore/ST is
compatible with the following G4 systems that employ AGP graphics:
� Power Mac G4 AGP Graphics
� Power Mac G4 Gigabit Ethernet
� Power Mac G4 Digital Audio
� Power Mac G4 Servers
� Power Mac G4 Cube (Requires Cube Installation Kit and professional installation.)
In order to work in both 100MHz and 133MHz bus speed machines, the new Encore/ST will
automatically detect the bus speeds of its host machine and run at the specified
performance of its processor. The card integrates seamlessly with all software
applications and supports all operating systems from Mac OS 8.6 through OS X with no
additional software required.
Encore/ST G4 800MHz and Encore/ST G4 1GHz will be available in August with estimated
street prices of $499.95 and $699.95, respectively. The Cube Dealer Installation Kit
carries an estimated street price of $29.95
