4MB and 8MB of system memory. Estimated street prices are $590, $795 and
$999, respectively, for the three versions after an $80 factory direct

processor which NUpowr replaces."

Doubler bundled free with the NUpowr Power PC upgrade. "This software
program 

significantly improves the Power PC-upgraded 500 Series computers' ability
to run nonnative language applications in emulation mode," said
Hildebrandt. - more NUpowr plugs onto the motherboard replacing the
68LC040 daughterboard. NUpowr requires System 7.5.x and 2.0 Updater. A
