Hey Jo ...

We have a Cube for sale in our store It's about $500 if memory  
serves.  It eve works too!  lol!  805-781-6227 ... MacSuperstore in  
San Luis Obispo ...

Your Cube with 512 or RAM or greater (1.5 GIG is awsome) runs 10.4.11  
very well.  No, that doesn't make it a 1 or 2 GIG monster ... but it  
works very well.  If you're crashing alot, etc. try changing out your  
RAM.  Barring any cooling issues and MLB problems, the only other  
thing it might be is a bad HD.

Let us know how this works out?  - Thanks ...

Gary
