[CUBE] Giga vs. Powerlogix

[martin weiss]

	I've not had a good experience with either the Sonnet 1.2 or 
the new GigaDesign. I installed both separately and each worked for a 
week or so and then died. When I replaced the original processor the 
Cubes were revitalized.  I've recieved a new Sonnet and GigaDesign is 
on its way back to OWC.

I am nut sure what to make of my experience given that there seem to 
folks that have upgraded successfully to faster processors. Bad luck 
or hubris?

Cheers,

Martin
