    "Kingston is right in line with memory to maximize the performance
available from these hot new Apple systems," said Liesl Schwoebel, Product
Marketing Manager, Kingston.  "Whether it's a lightning quick Power Mac G4
with dual processors, a super-computing Power Mac G4 Cube or one of the
beautiful new iMac models, performance can be optimized with the right amount
of memory."
    Given the popularity of Siggraph with the Macintosh(R) community, Kingston
will be highlighting Power Mac G4 systems during its digital media
demonstrations at the show.  Kingston will illustrate the difference between
G4 performance when populated with different memory configurations.  "Our goal
is to show the visible increase in performance that the right amount of memory
makes for Mac users," added Schwoebel.

    Power Mac G4 with dual processors
    Touted as delivering twice the computing power of earlier G4 models, the
new Power Mac G4 comes standard with either 64MB, 128MB or 256MB of memory.
Power Mac G4's can maximize capacity to 1.5GB with combinations of 64MB

Cube offers more computing power than systems quadruple its size.  Beginning

dual processor model and the Cube.
