Message-ID: hi: my cube 450 mgz, 1.25 gb ram and 120 hd has been showing problems. it boots, but then turns itself off at different lengths of time. a while back i was told to check and see if the video card was lose. i am having eye problems, insert long, sad story here- and today finally i was able to open the cube. i am broken hearted: a green plastic part fell off. i believe it is the connector on the video riser card. i was looking at the service manual, but have been unable to find a better way to explain what it is. in the service manual, on page 40, second illustration, the plastic cover that surrounds the video riser card looks brown. mine is green. my question is this: besides the video riser card, should i look into something else, considering what happened? thanks for all and any help, gladys From almiroty at prtc.net Tue May 1 18:23:11 2007 From: almiroty at prtc.net (=?ISO-8859-1?Q?gladys_p=E9rez-almiroty?=) Date: Tue May 1 18:23:37 2007 Subject: [Cube] video riser again Message-ID: <8F7641B9-8468-40C1-9D5A-46B1D66C4655@prtc.net> hi, again well, i found something else: there is a green video card connector clip in some models and it is not present or necessary on all models.

Cube runs fine, although the display is a little uncooperative (I can't control brightness--the control slider doesnt even appear). Otherwise, it's all ok. hope this helps.

We just had Charter Cable hi-speed turned up and now we need a Mac friendly all-in-one wireless cable modem gateway. It must also serve a PC well. We have airport extreme on a 1ghz G4 powerbook, the other PC has windows XP on it. I hope soon to have an intel macbook in my possession. I also have a Cube with airport that will find it's way into this wireless network at some point. Thanks for all thoughts. Dave __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

It is very vast, Secure and easy to set up. It is not a cable modem however, but I have my cable modem and router in the same room sitting literally ontop of eachother near the center of my house, in a closet more or less. Most cable companies offer free or discounted cable modems, heck, cable modems are even showing up at thrift stores for 5 bucks! good luck, the macs are very easy to setup to use with ANY wireless provider, the XP, once you figure out how to configure it is also very good. The XP has a D-Link Wireless network card, and it interfaces nicely with the linksys. D-Link and Linksys are my two favorites, but I really think theyre all the same really when it comes down to it... after-all that's why there's a standard issued by the IEEE the only difference is price, looks, warranty, and support. -Francois > Message: 10 > Date: Thu, 3 May 2007 22:36:48 -0700 (PDT) > From: Da Pen > Subject: [Cube] Wireless Cable Modem > > Hello, > > What are thoughts about the best Cable modem/router > wireless for our beloved Macs and an errant PC?

Netgear occasionally forgets my powerbook's hardware ID (MAC no) and refuses access. I have to reset it for the powerbook to get access. Can't remember the specific models off hand tho.

Using that card, your entire network will have to stay at WEP. Make sure your gateway supports MAC address filtering, and use it. You might consider an external USB wireless NIC for the Cube. But don't trust the manufacturer's claims on OSX support. Some will, or won't, depending on the chipset, even though the model number is the same. Beyond that, I've used Belkin, Linksys and Netgear without problems on multi-platform networks.
