Sounds like a good idea Jesse - I've just received my 1.2GHZ Sonnet, and
have gone to Cable internet, so I think I'll remove my modem in the process
of the upgrade (and fan install)  I also have the Radeon 7500 running two
adc displays with the Geffen adapter.

BTW - The 1.2GHZ Sonnet upgrades are down to $519 with a free Cube install
kit at OWC.
