Personally I'd rather go for the 1.8 because of the speed. I'd rather have that than gettin the 1.3 and the choice of upgrading later<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> --- On Fri 06/23, Michael Blossom < blossom@megsinet.net > wrote:<br /><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid orange; padding-left: 7px; margin-left: 7px;"><b>From: </b>Michael Blossom [mailto: blossom@megsinet.net]<br /><b>To: </b>cube@listserver.themacintoshguy.com<br /><b>Date: </b>Fri, 23 Jun 2006 17:19:46 -0500<br /><b>Subject: </b>[Cube] Cube Giga CPU replacement question<br /><br />Since the CubeOwner forums are down, I'll try this email list -- I'd <br />appreciate your opinions.<br /><br />Two years ago, I bought a Giga 1.2 Ghz (7455) upgrade with L3 cache. <br />It was great for a while, then failed. I sent it back, and Tim at Giga <br />is offering me a choice of a free 1.3 Ghz *without* L3 cache (also <br />7455), or a $133 credit toward a 1.8 Ghz 7447, which would bring the <br />price
to $166.<br /><br />If I take the free 1.3, I only get the one remaining year on my <br />warranty. If I take the discount on the 1.8, I'll get the full <br />three-year warranty on the new processor.<br /><br />First question: Is this a fair offer? If the 1.3 had L3 cache, it <br />would seem fair to me, but without it I'm not sure if I'm getting a <br />replacement that's not as good as what I paid a lot more for a couple <br />of years ago.<br /><br />Second question: If it is a fair offer, which should I take?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Mike<br />_______________________________________________<br />Cube mailing list<br />Cube@listserver.themacintoshguy.com<br />http://listserver.themacintoshguy.com/mailman/listinfo/cube<br /><br />Listmom is trying to clean out his closets!
