[Cube] Re: graphic cards for the cube

[Gary Heartsfield]

I have the powerlogix 1.7 upgrade with 1.5 gig of ram and a Seagate 160

Driving a apple 23 inch studio monitor ( clear plastic border adc )

The slower bus speed( 100 ) and the lack of usb 2.0 are the only  
negative about this machine.

I think it is more responsive than my friends 1.8 G5 ( first edition )  
running leopard 10.5.1

Which I had to install onto the hard drive from another machine.

Now with the core 2 duo mini it would be very hard to justify much  
upgrading on a cube.
