The card I got was a half-height one, no fans on it. But as a precaution I did put some extra heatsinks on the chips of the card like in the link below: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-014-ZA As stated before, running without a hitch, sleeps no problem. I even experimented with overclocking it using ATIccelerator II (http://thomas.perrier.name/). Just for the sake of it I underclocked it also to see if running cooler would help but didn't make much difference. After failing miserably to break it I eventually restored the card to original clock speeds! Cheers Geordie -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Same Sonnet 1.2 GHz with Radeon 7000 for 3 1/2 years. Also added a Seagate Barracuda 120GB drive and 1.5GB RAM upgrade. Been a spectacular computer. Bought it used mint and immediately upgraded it. Has been problem free. When I purchased a G5 iMac (now upgraded to an 2.1GHz dual core Intel iMac) thought I would sell the upgraded Cube. Just couldn't do it. First computer of many different models of Apple Macs I just couldn't part with. Now it does full time server work and is a necessary partner of my computer triad.

Get the message that "Install Failed--The Installer could not validate the contents of the 'BaseSystem' package." on the upgraded 1.4GHz Cube and a can't install on your Mac error message for the stock 450MHz Cube. Someone will have to figure out a hack. Going to try again by installing Leopard on an external FW drive attached to my CPU-upgraded 12" PowerBook G4 (originally 867MHz now 1.4GHz) then booting the Cubes with it. If it boots then I'll clone the external to the internal and try again. Results of the latter to come, stay tuned....

The same hard drive that was killing my cube made a G4 800 Tower do the same thing. Reformated the drive and installed Leopard from a 1 gig g4 laptop using the drive from the cube as a firewire device ( used a Wiebetech drive dock, everybody should have one ) The drive booted and ran fine on the G4 tower ( 800) then moved it back to my cube and it works without any problems I can tell so far. I can not tell if it runs any faster or slower on the cube. I have a Radeon 9000 pro in the cube. ( 64 meg ) I will keep you posted. Gary H.

So that we're forced to buy the Intel processors. I doubt a processor upgrade will allow Leopard to be installed; Apple are very strict about those things. According to them, Macs cannot be upgraded, so a machine identifying itself as a Cube will be unable to run Leopard. Simple as that. And of course Apple are phasing out support for the G4 CPU; they phased out G3 support before that, 60x support before that, and 68K support before that. G4 (desktop) machines are getting long in the tooth, and technology moves on. That has little to do with "forcing" people to buy Intel Macs; you can keep using your Cube as long as you wish. You won't be running the latest and greatest OS and applications on it, but hey, if it works today, there's no reason it shouldn't work tomorrow, right? Tiger didn't stop working (for me, anyway) the day Leopard was released, and I have an old G3 running Panther just fine. It is taking care of business just as well as it did when Panther shipped and I first installed it. I just never saw a need to upgrade it to Tiger, and I don't see a need to upgrade it to Leopard, either. ,xtG tsooJ From ridmaur at xs4all.nl Tue Oct 30 01:13:19 2007 From: ridmaur at xs4all.nl (Rob In der Maur) Date: Tue Oct 30 01:13:41 2007 Subject: [Cube] Leopard Install In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <0D0798BB-22CE-49FC-B54F-89249DA590BC@xs4all.nl> I had no problem at all installing Leopard on my Cube with a Sonnet 1.2 Ghz upgrade.

I used a small external FireWire drive and Carbon Copy Cloner--installed Leopard on a small partition on the drive and booted my Cube from it and used CCC to clone Leopard to the Cube. The second is Gary's method of taking out your Cube's drive and installing it in another 867MHz or faster Mac, installing Leopard on it and putting it back in the Cube.

It crossed my mind, but I've never upgraded the optical drive, I did upgrade the hard drive long time ago but at the time I set it to the same setting that original was set to.

I know, but I'd really like to avoid having to take the hard drive out. :) On the other hand, it is almost 5 years old now, maybe I should just replace it with a new one and use the current one for Time Machine...

Is their any material difference in the overall "speed of the system"; 10.4 vs 10.5? Please indicate whether you are running with the boot drive installed, or, running externally via firewire.

I have a PowerLogix dual 1.5 GHz with VRM + nVidia GF2MX video card. I did forget to make sure the Keychain update 1.0 was installed before the first manual restart after the upgrade and had to reset my password in single user mode but that was about it. According to Apple, this problem seems to affect anything that has passwords dating back to 10.3 or earlier so that could affect a good few Cube owners. Seems to run pretty smoothly, even so-called application enhancements. Now I just have to see if my scanner still works.
