Mac-Compatible Upgrade Cards: Sonnet Technologies: Encore/ST G4 1.7 Specs
 |
The Sonnet Encore/ST G4 1.7 features a 1.7 GHz MHz PowerPC 74xx (G4) processor with the AltiVec "Velocity Engine" vector processing unit and a 512k level 2 on-chip cache. The card plugs into the G4 daughtercard slot provided by the AGP-based Power Macintosh G4 models (AGP, Gigabit, Digital Audio, Quicksilver 2001/2002, and a separate version for the Cube), replacing the original processor card. All Encore/ST models utilize Sonnet's unique "AutoConfigure" technology to automatically detect what computer is being used and set the speed to the maximum safe setting. Compatible with MacOS X 10.3.5 and higher, but requires MacOS 9.2 to install a provided firmware patch. |
