[Cube] Cube Digest, Vol 57, Issue 2

[Ed]

I upgraded my Cube about a year ago from a 450 MHz CPU and the old ATI 128
Rage Pro video card to the following:
 
 
CPU:
 
1.5GHz: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/PowerLogix/PF47S1500CN/ . Comes with
a fan (it is quiet), which is important since the video and CPU upgrades
together throw off more heat than the components they replace.
 
 
Video Cards (and brackets):

o+for+Cube . I opted for the Radeon 7500 32MB card, with neither heat sink
nor fan, and had to buy the assembly brackets separately at
http://www.yourmacstore.com/shop/shopexd.asp?id=173 .
 
The upgrades work fine. No problems with overheating or performance and I
use the Cube daily. I am running OS X  10.4.11.  I upgraded the Cube¹s
memory from 500 MB to 1.5 GB. I also upgraded the optical and hard drives to
really pimp it out.

Good luck.
