[CUBE] Ok, NOW I'm thinking of the 17"iMac...

[Thubten Kunga]

After we get a PowerLogix upgrade with 1 or 1.2 GHz and 2MB of L3 
cache, the Cube should stay fairly competitive. We're always going to 
be constrained by our old 100 MHz Bus. But a 1.2 GHz upgrade should 
beat out a 1 GHz iMac w/o our big cache. I imagine. I don't know. ; ^ ) 
Put in a dual 800 MHz and it will be no contest. This OS X really loves 
to delegate to more than one processor.
