“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 O’Connor, president of OWC. “When dealing with processor speeds every little bit makes a difference, and it’s 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 we’re now pleased to offer increased affordability as well.”
