Well, I have made an offer on a couple of dual 500 G4 processors — one for a Cube and one for a G4 AGP Graphics machine that I also have running as a server. That way I also have a spare if one of them should fry.

On the other subject, I do need Word 2008, for reasons relating to collaboration at work, but thanks for the suggestions for alternative software. Some can and will be followed up.
