Help upgrade CPU Upgrade Chart + New CPUD coming

Founder, Editor Group: Root Posts: 6,582 Joined: 7-August 02 Specs: Everyday Cube: PL Dual 1.7GHz 7447A, 1.5GB RAM, 250GB WD HD, FX 5200 with Dual VGA LCD Displays, 8x SuperDrive Member No.: 1 Gender:Female Where From?:Brooklyn, NY First Name: Laurie	Thomas prepared this chart last year, in the same spirir as the video card chart that people like so much. It's fallen a bit out of date, what with all the turmoil that persists in the accelerator biz, but I've cleaned it up a tad with my good eye (LOL) and now am asking you all to take a pass at it to correct/add any glaring omissions or mistakes. Things that are discontinued on the manufacturer's site, but still available elsewhere that you have confirmed, may be added - but please list the source for those upgrades if you add them. Download the LATEST Excel spreadsheet version below, make your proposed changes and email the new versions to me at my name @ this site .com. By this weekend I should then have a mostly accurate chart posted in the FAQ for your convenience. On the CPU Director (aka CPUD for those in the know) front, I have it on good authority that a new and improved version of CPUD with 10.4.5 support should be ready to roll by March 27. One of OWC's (and mine) favorite software developers is on the case and he's rarely been known to let folks down, so I think we'll all be pleased and find it worth the wait. In the meantime, please keep in mind that if you are concerned about keeping your Cube cool without CPUD, you can install Apple's CHUD Tools (free) and enable the NAP setting at login, thanks to a script that Gene Hack thoughtfully whipped up for us.
