Sonnet Encore/ST CPU upgrades reach 1.8GHz G4
Sonnet is one of the smart companies that continues to support the Mac most near and dear to my heart: The Power Mac G4 Cube. Today they announced the addition of two new, fast single processor upgrades to their Encore™/ST family and they included the Cube in the party.Encore/ST G4 1.8 GHz (Part No. SG4-1800) is for the following Power Mac G4 systems: AGP Graphics, Gigabit Ethernet, Digital Audio and QuickSilver models, while the Encore/ST G4 1.8 GHz (Part No. SG4-C1800) is made specifically for the Cube. Even better - the 1.8s are priced $50 less than the 1.7 GHz upgrades they replace in the lineup.
The Freescale (the semiconductor unit spinoff of Motorola) CPU features 512K on-chip L2 cache and is compatible with Mac OS 9.2, and Mac OS X 10.3.5 and higher.
The SG4-1800 is available now with an MSRP of USD $399.95 and the SG4-C1800 for Cube will be available August 8, 2005 for the same price.

Ah it is just like the good old days again when you could get a faster version of a processor from an upgrade maker than you could from Apple. Now if they just had a 2 GHz+ upgrade for the last gen of G4 PowerMac's
