A simple replacement upgrade for older, slower processors, the Mercury Extreme G4 line features Tantalum-dipped components and an ultra-quiet custom cooling system with a pre-attached heat-sink and fan in order to maximize the reliability and longevity of the upgrade.

Extreme speed at an extreme value and generating extreme satisfaction for our customers is what our Mercury Extreme G4 line is all about, said Larry OConnor, president of OWC.
When dealing with processor speeds every little bit makes a difference, and its great to be the first to bring reliable, guaranteed G4/1.5GHz operation to those Mac users who need a serious speed boost. These cards have been reviewed and highly recommended in major publications, and were now pleased to offer increased affordability as well.
All Mercury Extreme G4 upgrades feature 256 Kilobytes of 1:1 L2 cache on-chip and 2 Megabytes of high-speed L3 Cache. They are compatible with Apple PowerMac G4 AGP Graphics (Sawtooth), Gigabit Ethernet, Digital Audio and Quicksilver models and support Mac OS 9.2.1 and higher, as well as OS X and higher, including all 10.3.x versions.
