[CUBE] Radeon 7500 long term in Cube? (Sonnet comments)

[Kunga]

Thank you for all those details Julian. That is very helpful. The AAC 
ripping speed is more than I was getting from the dual 867 - 13-14x 
max. Excellent. Using a 52x reader?

Please let us know your reinstall of the replacement fixes those 
anomalies.

Kunga Asked Julian yesterday:
>> What Sonnet Upgrade? Wake from sleep problems? How fast does it feel?
>> Quiet variable speed fan?
