Key Features Easy to install into ZIF socket 100% compatible with hardware and software Three-year limited warranty No switches. No control panels. Simply Fast
The Sonnet Encore/ZIF can make your G3 or G4 Power Macintosh one of the fastest desktop computers in the world. Designed with 1MB backside cache, the Encore/ZIF G3 and G4 deliver the ultimate in processing power. From scrolling windows and launching applications, to operating graphics programs and playing power-hungry games, you can expect head-turning performance gains from your newly upgraded Power Macintosh.
All Encore/ZIF G4 cards are compatible with your existing hardware and seamlessly integrate with your software:
Encore/ZIF G4 500 MHz supports from Mac® OS 8.0 through Mac OS X (Version 10.2.8 for Beige G3 systems and 10.4.x for G3 Blue & White and G4 PCI Graphics systems).
OS X Update: All Encore/ZIF upgrades are fully compatible with any version of OS X that can be natively installed on your Macintosh. In some cases, users may need to download a small software updater. Most configurations are compatible as shipped by Sonnet.
Installation happens in minutes simply by dropping the new card into the Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket that is specially designed to make upgrading effortless. The Encore hardware automatically configures the correct bus ratio without the need for switches.

**Power Macintosh G3 Blue & White users must disconnect any installed SCSI adapter cards and SCSI drive(s) from their computer before running the Sonnet Software installer and installing the Encore/ZIF G4. After disconnecting the SCSI card and drive(s), the computer must be booted from a hard drive connected to the internal ATA bus, and then the Sonnet installer (which installs files necessary to support Encore/ZIF G4) must be run. The SCSI card and drive(s) may be reconnected after the software installer has been run.
