Give Your Workhorse More Horse Power.
People love their Pismos. "Workhorse" is the word most often heard to describe them. "Rugged" and "well-designed" are some others. But lately, you might have found you've been spending more time tied to your desktop computer. Because if you're using Apple's OS X and upgraded versions of your favorite software, your Pismo just doesn't run as fast as it used to. That's where FastMac can help. FastMac's G4 processor upgrade can once again release you from your deskbound existence by giving your PowerBook more power, more speed...more life.
Brain Transplant
Giving your Pismo a genuine Motorola G4 brain for around $250? Is that possible? Absolutely. All you have to do is send in your old processor board in working condition and we'll do the rest, installing a new processor and new, faster backside cache. Using your original board not only saves money, but also eliminates third party software issues some other 'replacement' upgrades can have. Before we ship it back to you, we rigorously test your upgraded board to make sure it's delivering the best performance possible. And in no time, you'll be speeding down the information superhighway. So get more power for your PowerBook. And rekindle your relationship.
Feel the Power
On some operations you'll see speeds double, even triple that of your original processor. Screen redraws will be faster. Scrolling will be quicker, more responsive. Overall performance will increase. Programs that used to get bogged down will fly.
