You can also get a dual 500MHz in there too John - some guy did it and posted
his method on XLR8yrMac. Not a lot faster but handy when you have your Cube
doing two things at once or using an app that is multi-CPU aware and better
than the single CPU 5333 upgrade for sure.
Some of the other stock Apple CPUs would probably work as well with some
hardware mods but they are designed to run in a tower not a Cube so heat and
power draw on the notoriously dicey VRM becomes an issue.
Get a good fan in the bottom of the case before you do any other mods too -
your Cube will thank you anyway by running cooler.
