The Sonnet Crescendo/PCI G4 700Mhz is a CPU-upgrade for older
Macintosh computers that have a PCI slot. This upgrade replaces the
CPU in your Mac with a 700MHz G4. In addition to the upgrade, you'll
also get Sonnet's OS X installer software (value: $30), which is
necessary for installing OS X on these machines.
Why buy a whole new Mac when you can just upgrade the CPU? Preserve
your investment in your computer, and avoid the hassle of transferring
all your data. This card was pulled from a PowerMac 8600/300 and
worked flawlessly. I ran OS 9 and OS X (10.2.8) on it without any
problems. Installation is real easy - just remove your existing CPU
and insert the new one, then install the software. In minutes, you'll
be running at 700MHz for a fraction of the cost of a new Mac.
The sup****ted models are:
* Power Macintosh Series 7300, 7500, 7600, 8500, 8515, 8600, 9500,
