Hi Everyone, first timer's here. However, I have been here hundreds of time for useful information. Great place.
I have PowerPC G5 desktop that I have been using since 2005. Until lately, it shows some annoying problems that I can't get any result from the Discussion. I have been doing some research everywhere and I think it's the Graphic card and or the memories. I am not sure I want to get it fixed because the new softwares mostly work with the Intel Macs. Now that I am mobile most of the time, I am thinking of getting the new Mac Mini 2.6 with 4 GB RAM to replace the Power Mac and use the Display and the Keyboard. I have 2 Mac Book Pro's that I use when I'm out of town.
I do mostly graphic related subjects and use mostly Painter, Photoshop, Illustrator, in that order. Also iMovie (looking upgrade to the Final Cut Exp. and Aperture).
Do you think this Mac Mini would be sufficient? If you have any experience with Mac Mini, I would love to hear from you.
The reason I want to get the Mac Mini is the money thing and I think the new Mac Pro's are overkill for what do and also I have a few Apple Displays left over from the office I've had.
Thank You.
