[CUBE] Cube entertainment centre

[Benjamin Ing]

I just got a new eyeTV 200 that works through the firewire port.. It 
supposedly is designed only to work with G4 500MHz machines, but it 
seems to be working ok with my Cube 450. I think that it might be 
dropping frames occasionally, though, so I am going to have to look 
into speed upgrades. Since I really, really like the fact that the Cube 
is silent (it's in the bedroom that my wife and I share along with the 
baby), I am not looking forward to the prospect of going with a speed 
upgrade that might induce noise.

Has anyone upgraded a Cube 500 to one of the faster aftermarket 
upgrades? I might be interested in some sort of swap so that I could 
get specified performance out of the eyeTV! Is the only difference a 
processor swap, or was there something else on the motherboard that 
differentiated the two models?
