Fastmac reduces prices on G4 desktop CPU upgrades

Fastmac today lowered prices on its G4 AGP processor upgrades by as much as 25 percent. The company says its upgrades include Level 3 cache to help boost performance in certain graphic-intensive actions within Photoshop, and in games such as Quake & Halo--even "when compared to CPU’s that use higher clock frequencies but forego inclusion of Level 3 cache." The models are now available for $230 (1.1GHz), $250 (1.2GHz), $290 (1.4GHz), and $350 (1.5GHz). The G4 AGP processor upgrades carry a 3 year warranty and includes 256KB of 1:1 L2 cache on chip and 2MB of high speed L3 cache, along with an integrated heat sink "that stays cool-to-the-touch even under extreme operating conditions." Fastmac’s G4 AGP upgrades are designed to work inside Apple PowerMac G4 AGP Graphics (Sawtooth), Gigabit Ethernet, Digital Audio and Quicksilver models.
