www.google.com

Search before you ask tongue.gif Anyway, all current Intel Macs support Bootcamp. So you will be able to fund Windows XP in iMacs, Mac Minis, Macbooks, Macbook Pros and Mac Pros.

Somehow I feel that getting the iMac is much more worth it than getting a Mac Mini. biggrin.gif

cos the specifications for iMac are very much better, the graphics card is more powerful, you get more memory, a very much bigger and faster hard disk, a beautiful 17" or 24" screen...

basically for RM4799, that is one really sweet computer!

It depends , if you cannot afford it its okay....

I am using a mac mini G4 and its my secondary computer . Unless you're looking for a primary computer then mac mini is not for you...but again it will still do a good job

Second that. Mac mini is using GMA950. If TS is a gamer, then it's a "no-no" for mac mini rolleyes.gif

The specs of the 17inch iMac and the Mac Mini are almost the same, only very little price differents. PLus, the iMac comes with keyboard, mouse and Monitor and it also saves space. So iMac is definately a better choice if you ask me

iMac is generally standard in graphics card area depending on the size screen you get, im sure you can see the spec before you buy, all i can say is don get integrated graphics if you wanna do anything beyond surf web and word doc. and as for RAM, more = better ... i run 2gb tongue.gif photoshopping awesomeness laugh.gif

for your information, mighty mouse only have single click. that is left click, if i am not mistaken. if you want both left and right click together go for others mouse like razer pro or others.

Erm... you can right and left click.

Go under your Keyboard and Mouse settings. Then under the "Mouse" tab, you will see a apple mouse (duh..)

Then, on the right click area, set it as "secondary button"

You will need to get used to the Right click. Since that right clicking required your finger to click on the extreme right biggrin.gif
