CPU upgrade for 12\" PB
Daystar Technology has expanded its new line of PowerBook G4 Aluminum CPU upgrades to include the popular 12-inch PowerBook G4 and has added new low-power choices as well as re-structured pricing and bundled free shipping. The new MAChSpeed G4 Upgrade allows any 12-inch Aluminum PowerBook (1.0GHz or faster) to be upgraded to the latest 1.67GHz speeds. The $450 upgrade doubles the size of the internal cache on the early PowerBooks and also delivers up to 60 percent more speed. Like other XLR8 PowerBook CPU upgrades, it is factory-installed by Daystar's Apple Certified Technicians. In addition, the PowerBook Aluminum upgrades are now available in a variety of speed options. The lower speed 1.67/1.75GHz options allow users to make substantial jumps in performance without sacrificing a longer battery life or heat issues, while the 1.92/2.0GHz options deliver "extreme desktop-alternative performance;" they require AC power to achieve maximum speed with heavy workloads and "easily surpass" the Intel-based Macs in applications, such as Photoshop, XPress, Flash and Premiere, according to Daystar. All pricing now includes free ground shipping.
