Intel "Upgrade" for Powermac Cube available

Despite it's untimely death, the Powermac Cube is the machine that just won't go away. Now, Korean company U-Power is offering an "upgrade" that places either a 1.5Ghz or a 1.8GHz Intel Pentium-M processor in your Powermac G4 Cube, which will run Windows XP. Called the The PCube 1.5 and PCube 1.8, the upgrades are priced at $400 and $450 respectively. According to the company, this upgrade is "aimed at PC users who may be wooed by the stylish G4 Cube and thus consumed with a desire to dump their beige PC box." Before you get excited by the idea of a cheap developer box, understand that it is very unlikely that this upgrade will be able to boot into Mac OS X, as Apple has said only forthcoming Intel-based Macs will be able to perform this feat.
