im in the market for a new computer since my p4 died.
i really want to try a mac and since you can duel boot OS now it may be the right time.
im thinking of buying a mac mini. are the duel cores faster than a p4 (different OS i know i know)
here is was i used my pc for maybe you can tell me if i can get the same out of a mini: down loading a large amount of full length movies from limewire (mainstream and porn )
surfing the net
converting video files to 3gp for mobiles
encoding down loaded videos and burning files to dvd
video capture and editing (i use windows movie maker for quck and simple and ulead media studio pro 8 for more involved stuff) i really want to get into try try basic computer generated effect on my videos
chatting on msn messenger
on occasion word processing, viewing power point presentation etc
burning music to cd once in a blue moon
can i use dvd shrink on a mac? is there a similar program
if i got the base model can i use my existing pioneer dvd burner in an external firewire or usb enclosure, daisy chained to a 160g sata drive and a 160g ide drive, both in firewire or usb enclosures.
i dont play games on my pc, that what the xbox 360 is for.
does mac play divx?
should i wait for a c2d mini to come out?
i understand that mini core duo processors can be upgraded, which is probably what ill do (ive seen the tutorials), to a 2 or 2.16ghz provided cooling is adequate.
sorry for being so long winded its just ive been a long term windows user and would prefer to get answers from users rather than a salesman
thanks
Andrew
