Mac-Compatible Upgrade Cards: Giga Designs: G-Celerator G4/1.8 AGP 7A (7A-1418U) Specs
 |
The Giga Designs G-Celerator G4/1.8 AGP 7A features a 1.8 GHz PowerPC 7447a (G4) processor (1.42 GHz overclocked to 1.8 GHz) with an AltiVec "Velocity Engine" vector processing unit, and a 512k on-chip level 2 cache operating at the same speed as the processor. The card plugs into the processor socket provided by AGP-based (Sawtooth), Gigabit Ethernet, Digital Audio, Quicksilver, and Quicksilver 2002 Power Macintosh G4 models, replacing the original processor card. All upgrade cards in this series are designed so that both the bus and backside cache ratios can be adjusted. Requires MacOS X 10.3.5 for installation, compatible with MacOS 9.2.2 but Giga Designs does not provide a warranty "third party software operations under OS 9". Another version, the 7A-1418C, for the Power Macintosh G4 Cube is also available. |
