Pretty cool, well i'm not sure is it still wise to get 1 mini now or not?
I was tempted to get one 2 years back when it first launched but i knew that they we gonna upgrade it since 256MB and 1.25Ghz was just something not really powerful to run on, especially OSX
And now they have released the mini's in 1.66Ghz and 1.83Ghz, 512MB ram. Well my primary usage for the kit will be just for Garageband and the usual Art/Design softwares and soemthing to make my iPod feel at home. So what do you guys think? Advice is appreciated, Thanks.

QUOTE(cuoreboy @ Sep 24 2006, 10:57 PM) i think is more than enuf ..... u got used any Final Cut Pro bcoz Mac Mini cant support So 512MB of RAM won't make things lag? in terms of running a couple of application and rendering stuffs. Just need to get a clear view before i really put cash into it's paw. |

So it's okay that I buy the Mini first and then upgrade the RAM at a later date when the price for RAM goes down?

Bout the only satback is it does not have CD eject button? It would have been better if it does... So each time he gotta use the keyboard to eject the CD? |

QUOTE You shouldn't have any problems with putting FCP5 on a mac mini, i have it on one at work and it runs nicely. I am personally running all my editing on a Powerbook G4 |

thats why i am planning just to get the 1.66Ghz enuf.. my PC can act as the printing server since it has the DVDwritter.
but the RAMs are so expensive for me to upgrade... gRrr...
