Apple CPU Plugin v2.7

is available for download from Apple's site. The extension update is for Power Mac G4's running Mac OS 9.0.4 or later but not Mac OS X. It was available yesterday via the Software Update control panel but my G4 Cube did not detect it. [Update: Neither did my Power Mac G4 (AGP). The installer states that the CPU Plugin is for the new dual G4's only and quits when trying to install it on single G4 machines. However, v2.4 was installed with Mac OS 9.0.4 on all computers, even on my 2400c with a 180 MHz 603e CPU.]
