Kernel Panics, Was: Re: Cube processor upgrade?

If those cutstom processors are only upgrades from the ones of IBM and Motorola, then ok. look, these days Ican barely trust anyone with fixing my Macs. First they will say that it has alot of problems, then they charge me big bucks, and return it to me running into a kernel panic two weeks later. Look, i just overreacted to what happened when these guys ripped me off on craigslist. Grrr. If I said anything that's untrue, I only said that to watch out for scams. Buyer always should beware...
