Now available is the first CPU upgrade card for the Pegasos. Taking advantage of the flexible, expandable and open architecture, Genesi is delivering a G4 upgrade card to take your computing experiences to the next level!
Pegasos G4 CPU Card
Now available is a processor card sporting the Motorola 7447 running at 1Ghz or more. The 7447 is the latest in the 4th generation (G4) PowerPC lineup from Motorola, offering an improved performance base over the previous generation (G3) series of processors. In addition to a larger cache, the 7447 offers more pipelines, an improved front side bus (FSB) and most of all, a SIMD unit called the Altivec. Altivec offers a dedicated on-chip vector engine, capable of delivering over a Gflops (billion floating point operations per second) while remaining affordable to the average user.
We have prepared a PDF document (4.7meg) describing many of the G4 processor's architectural benefits.
A small number of Pegasos 1 / April 2 systems are available with this G4 card for 499 Euros.
Please contact bbrv@genesi.lu if you are interested in this offer.

Genesi: Small number of Pegasos I / G4 available : Comment 14 of 117 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Anonymous on 16-Jul-2003 07:42 GMT | In reply to Comment 12 (Amon_Re): >After all, they were originally not even going to make the G4 boards,>and leave that to an external company, no? First they wanted to make even dual-G4, then they wanted to make a 200EURupgrade to G4-800, then it became 1GHz and then they didn't want to offerthat G4 upgrade for Peg1 because of the board issues, but said Plexuscommight do Peg1 boards wih G4 (afair) and then they announced the G4 upgradefor Peg1 and then they said it still doesn't work for all boards but theywill work it out (board verification/new one) for ppl. who want that Peg1upgrade. |
