[Cube] Wich Graphic card?

[Donald Schwab]

Radeon 7500 works excellently in my Cube, and supports Quartz  
Extreme, which I wanted.

The plus side of the 7500 is no fan.

And that is the plus of my Gigadesigns 1.2 GHz upgrade -- no fan.

I also have 1.25 GB of RAM installed, and do not have any overheating  
problems.

If some were to develop, I guess the quietest fan in the world would  
be necessary, but I am dubious about lasting quietness in any fan.

My Cube is a music server for my network, a CD Changer server for my  
extensive CD collection, and a relatively secure email client support  
vehicle for my correspondence.

It lives in a living room by the main stereo set, and must, must be  
quiet.

Relative quietness is acceptable in the 3.0 GHz Windows PCs and the  
Mac G5 2.0 GHz Mac G5 dual processor in my studio/office; absolute  
quiet is imperative in the LR.

Even a mini-Mac would be questionably acceptable there.
