Do I remember correctly? Your cube has the 7200 RPM hard drive AND 
1.5gig of RAM, but you were
still having panics? As described, I can hear the hard drive 
seeking-then a panic. None lately after 10.2.4 install.
FWIW-have a new 17in iMac @ work and it seems rock solid (3 wks 
old)-it's great-nearly as quiet as the cube.
