My cube has been a 1.4 GHz PL upgrade, with a GF IIMX & Seagate 120GB 7200.7 HD, so pretty near maxed out for a cube. I't been this way since January, and ran well, with a few lockups now & then that I have attributed to the PL upgrade. Last week I downgraded to the stock CPU so that I could send the PL CPU in for repair or replacement. The slowdown is noticable. Anyway, yesterday I was chugging along, eiting digital photos and printing them, when my video went crazy. After a couple reboots, and a half-hour cooldown, the video never cleared up. I swapped the stock Rage 128 card back in and that cleared it up. I guess the GF IImx is toast. The maxed out cube ride was a lot of fun, but now I'm worried my trusty cube won't be with me much longer, as components fail... I guess I need o start saving up for a G5... Allan
