[Cube] Thinking about a upgrade

[Kim David McNeill Simmons]

Riba,
	I was in the same boat as well. I eventually regulated my cube to  
internet browsing and email.
The problem with upgrading via an upgrade card is just common sense.  
You can buy a stripped down Mini-Mac for $600 dollars that is by far  
faster than any upgrade you can do, remember the bus is still slow no  
matter how fast you make the CPU.
For just under $800.00 you can buy a Mini-Mac that has a DVD. As much  
as we all love our Cubes, there comes a time when we have to own up  
to the facts, it is far better the buy new then to remodel.

Keep in mind Apple really no longer supports their Apple monitor ADC  
connection so if you have that kind of monitor you will be buying an  
adapter that will cost you around $100.00,if you have a VGA or DVI  
style connection monitor you are OK
