Description
If you're a Macintosh PowerBook owner who wants the advanced capabilities of
RISC-based PowerPC processor technology, without sacri-ficing your previous
PowerBook investments, you can upgrade to PowerPC performance. Upgrade kits will
soon be available for many PowerBook and all PowerBook Duo systems. These kits
provide the high performance of today's PowerPC processor-based PowerBook
computers.
The Macintosh PowerBook Processor Card Upgrade Kit for PowerBook 500 series
computers includes 8 mega-bytes of memory and the advanced PowerPC 603e
processor running at 100-megahertz.
For the PowerBook Duo systems as well as for the PowerBook 190 series,the
path to PowerPC performance isa complete logic board upgrade. This upgrade
also includes 8 megabytes of memory and the advanced PowerPC 603e processor
running at 100-megahertz. These PowerPC upgrades give your computer
processor performance equivalent to that of the PowerBook Duo 2300c/100 or the
PowerBook 5300c/100.
Installation of either upgrade must be performed by an authorized Apple
service provider. Your upgraded com-puter will retain your existing display,
hard disk drive, modem, and memory expansion cards. In addition, the most
recent version of the Mac OS--the Macintosh operating system--will be installed
on your computer's hard disk drive.
No matter which upgrade is appro-priate for you, your system can con-tinue to
use existing accessories such as power adapters, modems, batteries, memory
expansion, and docking products. Along with hardware com-patibility, you'll
also have complete software compatibility: the high per-formance of the PowerPC
processor will enable you to run your existing Macintosh applications,
applications optimized for Power Macintosh, and with Insignia Solutions
SoftWindows emulation software, even applications for DOS and Windows.
The entire family of upgrades gives you PowerPC processor-based cap-abilities
designed for the future, built on the foundation of the investment you have in
your PowerBook today.
