March 28, 2007, Woodstock, IL -- Newer Technology, Inc. (NewerTech)

http://www.newertech.com, the leading developer of PC, Macintosh and iPod

performance upgrades and accessories, announced today the NewerTech MAXPower

G4/7448 Single and Dual Processor Upgrades starting at $399 for Power

Macintosh G4 AGP Graphics/Sawtooth, Gigabit Ethernet, Digital/Audio, or

Quicksilver model computers. MAXPower Processor Upgrades are the world's

only available and shipping G4 7448 processor upgrades, delivering better

performance than even new Intel-based Macintosh systems as well as up to 40%

faster performance over competing 7447A processor upgrades.

In both standard benchmark applications, as well as in real-world

application testing, the results show the incredible performance gains of

the MAXPower G4/7448 Processor equipped PowerMac G4s. In a real-world Adobe

Creative Suite Photoshop action test, the MAXPower was actually FASTER than

the latest 2.33GHz iMac Core 2 Duo system. When compared to an Intel Core

Solo 1.5GHz equipped Mac mini, MAXPower Processor Upgrades delivered up to

4.6 times faster performance during intensive CPU usage.

MAXPower G4/7448 Processor Upgrades utilize state-of-the-art, latest

generation Freescale 7448 processors and are 100% compatible with existing

hardware, application software, and OS 9.2.2 and OS X 10.3.5 or later with

NO operating system modifications needed. By upgrading an existing PowerMac

G4 AGP Graphics/Sawtooth, Gigabit Ethernet, Digital/Audio, or Quicksilver

model with a MAXPower Processor Upgrade, users can enjoy faster performance

better than the latest Intel based Macs while maintaining their original

system investment.

Performance increases are achieved with a strategic set of engineering

enhancements, including 1MB of on-chip L2 cache fully pipelined for

two-cycle throughput, a full implementation of AltiVec technology featuring

enhanced support for out-of-order instruction, and the use of 90 nanometer

silicon on insulator (SOI) CMOS process technology to dramatically increase

clock and bus speeds while reducing power requirements.

Plug-and-Play, Hassle-Free Solution

MAXPower Processor Upgrades are easily installed in 10 minutes or less and

offer a hassle-free solution to obtaining a huge boost in G4 performance.

Now, instead of buying an expensive new system plus the additional cost and

hassle of installing software and hardware upgrades to work with the new

system, PowerMac G4 owners can continue to use and enjoy their current

system with the highest performance available.

"Apple built the PowerMac G4 to last and our new MaxPower G4/7448 Processor

Upgrades give these systems an unprecedented level of processing power,"

said Larry O'Connor, President of Newer Technology. "Using less power and

running cooler than the competition, no other G4 processor upgrade even

comes close to MAXPower's capabilities. When you consider the cost of not

only a new computer, but also the cost of software needed to get best use

from it, NewerTech's MAXPower upholds our long standing reputation of

cost-effective solutions which make a NewerTech enhanced system 'Better than

New'."

* Up to 12X MORE processing power
