hi all, i am new to mac products. i feel that mac mini is nice and im planning to buy 1 (its time to upgrade computer ^^), but mostly i will run windows xp under normal task and osx for my video and music editing. is mac mini a good choice? as i have limited budget. and 1 thing, if running under windows mode, is this machince can be used for gaming? or in other word, in windows mode, the performance of the hardwares will not be that efficiently utilized as running osx?

mac os has little support by games developer so some games cannot be played on mac os. It's the operating system problem. not the computer problem.
About the stability, mac os is much more stable than windows. the performance should be the same since all the hardwares are the same.

yeah, i can understand that. since now apple pc can run windows os using bootcamp. if we install games in the windows os in a mac pc, will the gaming requirement is the same as windows based pc? or a lower spec apple pc (running windows) will perform better than a generic pc?

i think is the software settings that caused the bt from stop downloading. i did experienced the same situation which i thought is the ISP provider fault, but the dl turns out fine after i installed the latest version of p2p client(2 days ago).
