NewerTech upgrades have on-board firmware on the card which handles the speculative processing issue. One of the features that made their upgrades better engineered. I'd like to know how they came by the expertise--stole an Apple engineer or the secret Apple white papers, hired one genius engineer, invested a lot more in development? What?
