MACCELERATE!
Using the overwhelming perfomance of the latest and fastest chip of the PowerPC processor family, the PowerPC604e, the mAccelerate!604e-150/166 mAccelerate!604e-180 and the mAccelerate!604e-200 will push your PCI Power MacIntosh beyond today's limits. These accelerator boards enable you to migrate your computer to the perfomance level of state of the art machines by simply plug-in of a new processor board at expenses that make it easy to preserve your recent investments. Resulting from high clock rates between 150 MHz and 200 MHz, the improved larger caches of the new PPC604e and the integrated high perfomance floating point unit, your PCI-PowerMac will turn into a workstation providing more than enough power for newest challenging applications such as image processing, 3D modelling and rendering, raytracing, animation design or video editing as well as your most favourite flight simulator. Depending on the application and the model of the PowerMac perfomance increases of more than 200% are possible, giving perfomance to power applications suitable to discover new dimensions of productivity and creativity. With all these features the new mAccelerate! boards are 100% compatible and need no support software. Installation of the new processor board is done by just a few very easy steps. With these high perfomance accelerator boards produced at the well known high quality standard of a phase 5 product you can be sure to make the right decision for your Mac.
