One guy melted his cube (not literally, he fried it), *HOWEVER* he 
didn't use the Cube install kit that sonnet requires, so I'm sure there 
was probably a big gap between the processor and the heatsink. Wait for 
the Sonnet Cube Install Kit if you do this.

I'm waiting for the kit and for prices to drop, or the 7457 to be 
released (any time now if not already) at 1.4 GHz (and .13 micron 
copper wiring, which will make the 1.4GHz chip run cooler and consume 
less power than the current 1GHz 7455 @ .18)

Just think, a single 1.4GHz 7457 would be at least as fast if not 
faster than the dual 800, while running cooler and drawing less power 
than the single 1GHz! Just what the G4 Cube needs!
