OrangePC 550
The OrangePC 550 model is the premium 12" compatibility card including 4 MB of video SGRAM, 512 KB of level 2 pipeline burst cache for superior performance, CPU upgradable to 300, memory upgradable to 256 MB, 3-D video and 3-D wavetable sound.
Using the CPUMark32 benchmark program, OrangePC is nearly 500% faster than any software solution. In addition the model 550 has real hardware based 3D video and 3D wavetable sound which cannot be duplicated by the software emulation products.
The OrangePC 550 now supports the industry's fastest processor - the AMD K6 233 MX. Combined with the increased 512KB level 2 cache, Orange Micro solidifies its claim to the highest performance for Mac-Windows compatibility.
