micromat techtool pro 4 ( mac )
this is the eagerly anticipated universal binary version of techtool pro that will run on both intel and powerpc-based macs . it fully supports the hardware changes introduced to the macintosh platform with the introduction of the new macintel chipsets . all of the features of the program that were previously available for powerpc based macs are available for intel-based macs as well . this includes the innovative edrive ( emergency startup partition ) feature of the program found nowhere else . in addition to universal binary support the new release will also include some significant program enhancements including improved disk controller test routines . unlike most application software more than a simple re-compile of the program was required to support the new intel-based macs . because techtool pro works with the computer hardware at the lowest levels it was necessary for micromat to completely re-engineer the software from the ground up . in order to support the new models mac os x 10.4 ( tiger ) is required to run the program . techtool pro ships on dvd for both powerpc and intel-based macs . the dvd will automatically boot the correct system version . no product comes close to techtool pro for ensuring that all of your hardware and software is operating at peak performance . no other software gives you the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your valuable data is protected by the latest technology . with a single mouse click techtool pro can automatically run a series of sophisticated tests that will troubleshoot almost any problem you are having with your macintosh .
