So now that my Cube is sporting it's nifty new Powerlogix G4/800, I have a G4 450 with no purpose in life.

In the other room, I have a 7500 that's ready for it's next upgrade. Is there any way to pair these 2 up?

don't belive so because of the uncompatable daughter cards. btw i will pay you 20 bucks for that old G4 chip if you want to sell it PM me if you are interested

Nuts. I'm going to check around a little further on this, but if you're right, I'll probably take you up on that offer.

I wouldn't take it for 20 when you can get about $80 for it flogging it on ebay.

I speak from experience

[Hi I'm Ben]

20 bucks? sell it on ebay for 80 =/

hey my offer stands

I got 125 a month ago for my old 450, Some fellow in Japan who wanted it something awful.

20 bucks is still 20 bucks

Hey, I'll give you less than it's worth and sell it on eBay too!

(please don't take that seriously. just joking around.)

[C.J. Moof]

heh. Guess it's time to break out the digital camera and dust off that Ebay account....

sonnettech has a tempo trio PCI card to upgrade the older MACs. It seems to be ok. Why not keep the 7600 and network it with the cube to use all your Macs ? If your tight on cash Sell the cube as is to someone who appreciates it.

So what would you do with the thing (please don't say "build robots")?

You can use it, since its just a zif, go out and buy a zif carrier adapter
Example:
http://eshop.macsales.com/Catalog_It...em=XLRGCZIFMPE
or
http://eshop.macsales.com/Catalog_It...em=XLRGCZIFMPE
(just make sure the card has OSX support, both the cards above do support OSX)

Nice idea, but I'm pretty darn sure that the Cube processor isn't a ZIF. The ZIF interface is larger than the mother-daughtercard connection in the Cube, and uses a lever to lock them together, the Cube connection doesn't have that.

The PDF at http://www.daystartechnology.com/dow...rrierZIF_1.pdf
shows a good picture of the adapter, and my G4 card doesn't look like that.

Bummer. Close, but no deal.
