[CUBE] Best bang for the buck CPU

[Daniel Love]

I recently installed a Sonnet 1.2. It was time consuming only because I 
had never taken the Cube down to the "Buck Naked" state that is 
required to put in the fan. I think they recommend a dealer install to 
cover themselves.

Was it hard? Not at all. The photo copied instructions were clear and 
concise. I would have to say it has been the best upgrade that I have 
done, bang for buck wise. MP3 rips that were 6x with the 450 are 15x 
with the 1.2.

My "xbench" went through the roof 52.92 before and 101.2 after.

The fan is quiet, I had visions of a racket like my LaCie external 
firewire drive makes.
