[CUBE] 1gig G3 in Cube?

[Hal]

Robert,

I think it would largely depend on the price point. I have a 500mHz 
Cube and am looking at upgrading, so this is an interesting option. Is 
the cache the same 512k full processor speed as the Pismo? The 
performance looks good, but it would have to be significantly cheaper 
than the G4 to make it worth it.

just my $0.02.
