The DayStar Genesis MP 450+, based on the Tsunami architecture, features two 225 MHz PowerPC 604e processors, 32 MB of RAM, and a 4.0 GB hard drive in an expandable tower case. DayStar sometimes shipped this model without a graphics card, which was then added by resellers. The Genesis MP 450+ can accept two additional CPU cards, making it equal to its more expensive brother, the Genesis MP 900+.
