New Encore/ST upgrades
Sonnet Technologies has added two new models to the family—the Encore/ST G4 1.7 GHz processor upgrade for most "Sawtooth" G4 Power Mac systems, including AGP Graphics, Gigabit Ethernet, Digital Audio and QuickSilver (2001 and 2002) machines, and the Encore/ST G4 1.7 GHz upgrade made specifically for the Power Mac G4 Cube. These cards are based on the latest and fastest PowerPC G4 processor (used in Apple’s current PowerBook line) from Freescale Semiconductor (formerly a division of Motorola), and feature 512K of on-chip L2 cache. Each new Encore/ST G4 1.7 GHz upgrade has a MSRP of $500. The rest of the Encore/ST G4 single processor upgrades have been reduced in price from $20 to $100.
