The DayStar Genesis MP 300, based on the Tsunami architecture, features two 150 MHz PowerPC 604 processors, 16 MB of RAM, and a 1.0 GB hard drive in an expandable tower case. DayStar shipped this model without a graphics card, allowing the reseller to configure the computer with their choice of graphics cards. The Genesis MP 300 can accept two additional CPU cards, making it equal to its more expensive brother, the Genesis MP 600.
