Simply Faster
Better performance doesn't necessarily mean chasing after the latest in computer technology. Your Power Mac PCI-series desktop may have come of age during the 1990s, but that doesn't mean it lacks the capability of running faster and more reliable today. With sufficient PCI slots and a dedicated processor upgrade slot, your Power Mac can easily be upgraded with current technologies (such as USB 2.0 and FireWire) and a faster processor. Depending on your needs and budget, a Sonnet Crescendo™/PCI processor upgrade card offers modest speeds improvements up to 1.0 GHz with high-speed Level 2 or Level 3 backside cache for unmatched performance.
Mac OS Support
The Crescendo/PCI is compatible with your existing hardware and software. It seamlessly integrates with your favorite applications, supporting System 7.5.2 through Mac® OS 9.1, or even Mac OS X when used with third-party software. (1)
