==Machine upgrades== Power Computing's machines were one of the most popular Macintosh clone to ever be made. Any 603 or 604 equipped Power Computing machine can officially go up to [[Mac OS 8.1]] due to Apple providing users of Power Computing machines Mac OS 8 upgrade disks as part of the acquisition (most other Macintosh clones can only officially go up to [[Mac OS 7.6]]).<ref>{{cite web| url = https://everymac.com/systems/powercc/index-power-computing-mac-clones.html| title = PowerComputing Mac Clones (Power Computing Mac Clones, PowerComputing MacOS-Compatibles): EveryMac.com}}</ref> However, despite officially only going up to Mac OS 8.1, any 603 or 604 equipped Power Computing machine is capable of being upgraded up to [[Mac OS 9.1]], although this is not officially supported by Apple. Powered by a PowerPC 603e or a 604e processor, Power Computing's machines cannot run [[Mac OS X]] natively, but with the addition of a G3 or G4 processor upgrade and the use of [[XPostFacto]] 4.0, they could run several versions of Mac OS X up to 10.4 Tiger, with some limitations.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://eshop.macsales.com/OSXCenter/XPostFacto/Framework.cfm?page=Compatibility.html|title = Other World Computing: OS X for Legacy Macs}}</ref> A number of Power Computing community websites have appeared over the years.
