At the time of the tests carried out for this article, earlier this year, Powerlogix had a range of upgrades featuring 800MHz and 1GHz processors, and Apple's fastest machine was 1.25GHz.
As processor speeds have edged gently upwards, upgrades have followed, usually a few hundred Megahertz behind. But how well does a processor speed boost translate into improved performance in musical applications on older Macintoshes? We find out.ĭespite the extensive testing I carried out on processor upgrades for iMacs, Power Mac clones and Beige G3s in SOS December 2001, I was unable to form a positive conclusion either for or against the concept.
Processor upgrades are a great idea for making older computers in general household use last longer.
