PRICES ON SERIES OF L2 CACHE SLOT PROCESSOR UPGRADE CARDS
IRVINE, CALIFORNIA. MAY 7, 1999. Sonnet Technologies sets
new price/ performance standards for G3 processor upgrades
with lower prices on its CrescendoTM G3 product lines for
the upgrade-challenged Macintosh models. These processor upgrade
cards occupy the L2 cache slot for Macintosh computers which
are built with the CPU soldered directly onto the motherboard,
instead of an upgradeable daughter card. With the processor
upgrade installed into the L2 cache slot, these upgrade- challenged
machines achieve a significant performance increase. Crescendo
