This is the media accelerator for professionals. DayStar's nPOWER Multiprocessing upgrades deliver the world's fastest dual-processor media performance available for any Mac OS system and an extremely affordable TechWorks price! These powerful upgrades employ two PowerPC 604e processors for unparalleled speed.

Users desiring the fastest possible media performance, need multiprocessing performance. nPOWER makes it easy... simply open the cover, swap the nPOWER card with the current single processor card, and add the system extension. Then restart and fly off to new levels of productivity! No special skills are required. Compute intense Multiprocessing applications, such as Video, Prepress, and 3-D will see immediate gains of 2- to 3-times faster. Even single-processor applications will run faster with the newer faster 180 MHz processor.

nPOWER is the de facto standard for multiprocessing. This same technology, developed here at DayStar, has been licensed to Apple Computer and UMAX for their MP solutions. DayStar's nPOWER is only available through Techworks. So, when you need more media performance - more than you can get from even the fastest single-processor Mac OS system - turn to StarTeck at 770-564-5685 .
