| End of the line for my Quicksilver | |
| Posted by: highlandcattle on 2012-12-16 02:32:47 My quicksilver just got replaced by a pentium 4 as my main system (yeah I'm modern). Since I also own a cube (it was my dad and I'm keeping it for nostalgic/recipe computer in the kitchen) I was thinking of transplanting some parts. Ram,GFX card and HD. And I was thinking is it possible to transplant the processor? SInce they are on a daughter card? Also would the cube need a fan if it was possible to install the Ati Radeon Pro 9000 and processor in there? | |
| Posted by: Macdrone on 2012-12-16 04:15:36 Ram should work, hard drive should work, video card might work with minimal modding to plate. As for the processor that's a big negatory ghost rider. The cube uses a lower power CPU. You could use up to a dual 500 unless you get a new VRM and add a fan, then the upgrades kick in and come with those from 550 mhz to 1.8 ghz. | |

| Posted by: Byrd on 2012-12-16 12:07:29 As others have mentioned RAM, HD will be fine, the graphics card will not fit unless you relocate the VRM. You need a fan with any upgrade. The CPU probably won't fit, but check the dimensions and specifications to see if it compares to a Cube specific upgrade. JB | |

Posted by: Gorgonops on 2012-12-17 10:22:44Nobody is as perfect as you are. Settle down, it was a joke. Although you never know. Maybe his mother is a highly modified 1924 Model T and he looks just like a young Kurt Russel.  | |
