[Cube] cubes in general

[James Whitfield]

I have a 450 mhz cube. I put in the 1.7ghz powerlogic upgrade and now my cube is as fast as a ferrari. All I paid for it was $289. It's an excellent investment

Hello all,<br>	I have had my Cube since it first started shipping, a very  <br>delightful computer. All I have done is change out the hard drive and  <br>added memory. No other upgrade has been done, not because I did not  <br>want to , but because I have found over the years that in my personal  <br>opinion processor upgrades are just not worth the money. By the time  <br>you put in the money for a dual or single upgrade and upgrade the  <br>video card, you have just about bought and paid for a comparable  <br>tower, and now a mini maxed out would be bought and paid for. Do not  <br>get me wrong, I love my Cube but as a Stock computer I know she will  <br>continue to run for sometime.  Where as I had a perfectly good 733mhz  <br>computer I put an upgrade card into and although it runs much faster,  <br>she does not want to start up right away and some times it does take  <br>awhile, I can not close the side door at all or the computer will not  <br>run. I did have an 
authorized dealer put in the upgrade and he when  <br>thru the computer from one end to another and could not make it  <br>function correctly at all. This was a computer that had been rock  <br>solid prior to the processor upgrade. Prior to this I had spend a lot  <br>of money with Newer well before they went under trying to make my  <br>computers of that time work as promised.<br>	This is all just personal experience, not meant to cause issues,  <br>especially since so many on this list have had such good luck in  <br>upgrading. But I think i is a far better avenue to buy a new computer  <br>then to upgrade processors at this point. Now when Apple has decided  <br>to create a Mac that gives us that capability without issues, then I  <br>will jump onboard once again to the processor upgrade line, but not  <br>until then.<br><br>Kim D M Simmons<br><br>Simmons Photography<br>1684 State Route 232<br>New Richmond, Ohio
