[Cube] Sonnet 1,2 GHz Upgrade - is it worth the money?

[Doug Wambold]

Stefan -

I have used the Sonnet 1.2 GHz for over a year.  It has worked without 
a problem since installation.  I have been happy with the performance, 
especially considering the relatively low cost compared to a new Mac.  
I use iDVD and Photoshop, both of which benefit from the faster CPU.

For some reason, the processor speed is reported as "0 MHz" under the 
"About this Mac" window.  This hasn't been a problem for me.  However, 
if you have an application that verifies a minimum CPU speed, this 
might prove troublesome.

The best part about a Sonnet 1.2 GHz?  You get to keep your Cube!
