PowerLeap Reviews

From Tom's Hardware PL-P4/N Review.

"PowerLeap offers upgrade sockets so you can add the latest and greatest Pentium 4 designed for Socket 478 on the way-outdated Socket 423. THG shows how a 2.8 GHz kit can breathe new life into an old Rambus board."

"There are lots of good reasons to buy a new PC. But there's also a way to upgrade almost any old PC to match the performance of a new machine on any one of these parameters for a fraction of the cost of a new system."

"If your PC uses an early Socket 423 Pentium 4 (circa 2001), the $50 PL-P4/N adapter from PowerLeap will enable you to run a later model Northwood Pentium 4 processor in the older Socket 423 aperture (see FIGURE 1 ). Your system's performance will benefit from a faster clock speed--up to 2.4 GHz [Now 2.6 GHz]--and from the Northwood's larger L2 cache. PowerLeap offers the adapter and a 2.6-GHz CPU for $290 [Now Only $259.95]. Run PowerLeap's InSpecs utility at the company's Web site to determine your PC's upgrade options. "

The PL-IP3/T Song.
(to the tune of "Cable TV" by Weird Al Yankovic)

By: Michael J. Kramer

I received your Sparkle GeForceFX 6600GT PCI-Express video card this morning and it runs smooth as silk. I've already booted up several new games (Star Wars:Battlefront, The Sims 2, City of Heroes) and I can switch all the graphic detail settings to HIGH without any slowdown. Short of spending $500+ for the bleeding-edge cards, it doesn't get any better than this! Thank you for the quick shipping and for answering all my questions. I hope you don't mind me sending some business your way, I have a friend or two looking for the same card.

Cheers,
Miguel


Thanks Very Much!
My most recent upgrade for my office PC works great, just like the comparable prior one on my home pc. So, count me in as a twice over satisfied customer.

Thanks.

The test unit was a smashing success!I have orderd 28 more of the PL-iP3/T upgrades and hope to have them all installed by month's end.

Congratulations on a great product that lives up to its promise of performance!

Best Wishes,

I just bought two of your PL-P4/N 2.4 kits for a pair of Dell Precision 330 Workstations. It took me, a non tech person, about 10 minutes each to install them. Turned on the power and they work perfectly.
.
As far as I can tell we just bought three more years without having to buy new machines. It's not the money that is the real cost in buying new computers. It's the hours and hours [sometimes days and days] of misery getting them set up the way you want them.

You have a fantastic product.

Thank You,
Rick True


This is by far the best and easiest upgrade I have ever seen. I took advantage of the 2.2 gig upgrade at the same price for the 2.0 gig. It arrived quickly because my son, a Computer Informations Systems senior undergrad at Bentley College, Waltham, Massachusetts, was home on spring break and I wanted him to install the upgrade. He has upgraded and built several computers so this was a "piece of cake" for him. He started the install while I was at work and within 15 minutes, he was back on line telling me via instant messaging everything was done and working fine with the first power up. I was thrilled and couldn't wait to get home. I am a very happy customer and will tell everyone who will listen about a Powerleap upgrade. Thanks again for making my upgrade so affordable.

Hi folks,

Just wanted to send this email of thanks for making such a great product (Yes, I had my doubts. Just dropping in a new CPU/unit seemed too easy). The UPS man dropped off the new PL-iP3/T today. I followed the directions , which were soo easy to understand, dropped in the new CPU/unit and then booted up the system.
WOW....... talk about fast, all I need buy now is a seat belt to keep me in my computer chair.

Thank you again,
Greg Proulx


Just wanted to email you to say what a GREAT product the Powerleap adaptor is. I had orderd it on a sunday and wihin a couple of days it had arrived. it literally took only about 15 minutes to remove the old 1.3 GHz P4 and then install the adaptor and new 2.6 GHz P4. And at $50.00 (for the Adaptor only), a price you can't beat!

Again i just wanted to say congratulations on a great product! Keep up the great work!

Dear Sirs:

I just finished installing the PL-iP3/T that I purchased from you last week. It is absolutely the easiestinstall I've ever done for any computer component and I am completely pleased with the results. I wanted to upgrade my system so that I could do some video work and also make use of Windows XP and now it looks like I'm going to be able to do both. My sister has the exact same system that I have and i'm going to recommend to her that she go for the upgrade also. Thanks for providing a product that is so easy to install and actually exceeds my expectations.

Many Thanks,
Jim Davis


Fantastic product; One of our customers requested a hardware upgrade to run a newer simulation software package. With minimal investment and 10 PL-370/T adaptors from PowerLeap we were able to provide our customer with a 40% increase in simulation performance, in addition to a 30% increase in rendering power. This is by far one of the most cost effective upgrades available on the market.
