  236.  <p>SONNET EXPANDS OFFERINGS IN NEW<br />
  237. POWER MAC 7200 UPGRADE SERIES</p>
  238. <p>IRVINE, CALIFORNIA  October 30, 2000. Sonnet Technologies, the worldwide<br />
  239. market share leader in processor upgrade cards for Apple Macintosh<br />
  240. computers, announces two additional configurations to its<br />
  241. recently-announced Crescendo line for the Power Mac 7200. The new Crescendo<br />
  242. G3 400MHz offers 512K backside cache with a 3:1 cache ratio. The new<br />
  243. Crescendo G4 400 MHz offers 1M backside cache with a 2:1 cache ratio. Now<br />
  244. 7200 owners will have a choice among three speeds instead of one.</p>
  245. <p>Once considered impossible to upgrade, the best-selling Power Mac 7200 has<br />
  246. a new future due to the unprecedented achievement of Sonnet's engineering<br />
  247. team. The first product in this new line of Crescendo upgrades was the<br />
  248. Crescendo G3 400 MHz/1M model announced in September. The new series of<br />
  249. Power Mac 7200 upgrades will boost performance up to thirteen times that of<br />
  250. the original system.</p>
  251. <p>Determining where the 7200 upgrade would be installed was one of the great<br />
  252. challenges to this product line. Since the original PowerPC 601 processor<br />
  253. in the 7200 is soldered onto the logic board, there is no available<br />
  254. processor slot. The cache slot in this system does not carry the necessary<br />
  255. signals, so this was not an option either. As a result, the 7200 upgrade<br />
  256. card is installed into an available PCI slot. With the new G3 or G4<br />
  257. processor working on the PCI bus, truly top-tier performance is attained by<br />
  258. adding local RAM to the same bus. To achieve this, Sonnet has provided 3<br />
  259. DIMM sockets to the card, where at least 50% of the total available memory<br />
  260. must be located. While one small DIMM must remain on the motherboard to<br />
  261. handle initial start-up duties, the remaining memory can be moved to the<br />
  262. Crescendo card to minimize the need for incremental RAM purchases. In<br />
  263. addition, the combined memory from both the motherboard and the card are<br />
  264. fully utilized to allow greater total RAM capacity than previously<br />
  265. possible, so users can opt for additional or larger DIMMs as desired.</p>
  266. <p>The next hurdle to overcome was to surpass the maximum performance<br />
  267. available on the 7200s motherboard, which runs at bus speeds starting at<br />
  268. 37.5 MHz. Sonnet felt it imperative that users be able to upgrade to truly<br />
  269. modern performance levels, and this too has been achieved. Using design<br />
  270. elements from Sonnets recently announced Fortissimo technology, Sonnet<br />
  271. created an independent bus to run on the new processor card. This bus runs<br />
  272. at a speed of 66 MHz, which allows the Crescendo 7200 to take full<br />
  273. advantage of 400 MHz processors and beyond.</p>
  274. <p>We are very pleased to provide options for users who thought that their<br />
  275. systems were impossible to upgrade, says Robert Farnsworth, Sonnets<br />
  276. president and CEO. With these new speed options, 7200 owners can choose<br />
  277. the configuration to best suit their budget and computing needs.</p>
  278. <p>Pricing and Availability<br />
  279. The Crescendo G3 and G4 7200 upgrades will be available in November, 2000:</p>
  280. <p>Crescendo G3/7200 400/1M  $499.95<br />

  298. <p>Simply Fast<br />
  299. Sonnet products are guaranteed to operate reliably over variations of<br />
  300. machine, time and temperature. The Sonnet Presto, Crescendo, Encore, Tempo,<br />
  301. and Tango cards work in every compatible Macintosh without the need for the<br />
  302. antiquated methods of configuration. The ability to move an upgrade card<br />
  303. from one machine to another without the need to tweak any jumpers or<br />
  304. control panels is a significant advantage to resellers and organizations<br />
  305. that want to maximize their flexibility, while minimizing the long term<br />
  306. technical support requirements. Sonnet cards have unequaled ease-of<br />
  307. installation and reliability, and are Simply Fast.</p>
