Zero Downtime...
The renown XLR8 550 MAChSpeed G4 PISMO upgrade kit is now available for enduser installations! With XLR8's superfast 1 MB cache and exclusive MAChSpeed Control software you can transform your Apple PowerBook G3 FireWire into a G4 AltiVec energized laptop. Great for graphics, video and games... it's an absolute necessity for iChat AV, Final Cut, Mac OS X, Jaguar, Panther and Tiger.
The MAChSpeed G4 Pismo Upgrade is a Daystar exclusive product, and backed by Daystar's unique 90/728 Warranty program. Although competitive products have emerged... none of them can run as cool, or as reliable.
Exclusive Technology. Working directly with Motorola/Freescale, Daystar has developed a CPU application which minimizes temperature and extends CPU life. Many competitive products use substandard components, and high voltages, which can overheat and shorten the life of your system. Daystar also developed an exclusive heat sink modification which complements the upgrade by minimizing temperatures. Overheating is NEVER an issue.
Mac OS X Thrives on G4 Speed. No more spinning balls! Mac OS X and all native Graphics applications are now optimized for the G4's Velocity engine. You'll experience bursts of speed that are up to 7 times faster than your current system. Even Mac OS X's Finder is snappy, with windows popping open immediately. The system is 100% compatible and runs as fast as an 800 MHz PowerBook G4. This is the ONLY no-compromise upgrade solution.
You don't have to send anything to Daystar! This upgrade kit includes all the tools and components you need. You do need to be technically astute though! Once completed, you can send your old CPU, EMI Shield and Heat Sink back to Daystar for a $85 rebate (coupon, instructions shipped in package).
