OWC ANNOUNCES SUPERFAST POWERLOGIX ZIF MEMORY UPGRADES
5 Times Faster Performance - Priced 30% Lower
September 10, 2007, Woodstock, IL -- Other World Computing (OWC)
(http://www.macsales.com), a leading Mac and PC technology company,
announced today the immediate availability of the superfast yet economical
PowerLogix G3 1.0GHz ZIF memory upgrades for PowerMac G3 "Beige," G3 B&W,
and G4 "Yikes" PCI Apple Computers. By popular demand, this exceptionally
easy to install upgrade is now available at a 30% lower price, for only
$139.99.
Fully compatible with all PowerMac G3 and G4 Yikes computers running Apple
OS 8.6 to 9.2.2 and Apple OS X 10.1.5 and later, the PowerLogix ZIF (Zero
Insertion Force) CPU upgrades provide performance up to 5 times faster than
with the original stock processor and require much less power. Compared
with more expensive G4 ZIF options of up to 1.0GHz or even the stock G4
processor in the G4 Yikes, not only does the PowerLogix G3 1.0GHz ZIF run
far cooler and use far less power, but it also offers performance
comparable and even exceeding that of these G4 counterparts. The PowerLogix
G3 ZIF efficient core design with 1MB of 1:1 high-speed on-chip level 2
cache provides the highest performance and efficiency possible in an
upgrade.
"Macs have about the best longevity of any computer ever. And if it's not
broke, there's no reason to replace the computer, especially when you've
got a wealth of software that runs great on it. The increased speed
provided by our PowerLogix G3 ZIF upgrades just make everything run a whole
lot faster and at an affordable price. You can even install OS X 10.4.x
Tiger!," said Larry O'Connor, CEO, Other World Computing.
OWC also offers a full line of G4 single and dual processor upgrades for
the full PowerMac G4 AGP Line, including OWC's own Mercury Extreme brand as
well as upgrades made by NewerTech and Sonnet.
