[QUOTE="sjorlo, post: 1145118, member: 180281"] I'm looking at buying a new mac for work (I work as a graphic designer) and I'm looking at the following machines as I really could do with upgrading my old G5 to an Intel, but it needs to be one which will still run Leopard (Snow Leopard doesn't agree with my printer and a few of the applications I need). 2009 Mac Mini [url=http://www.jigsaw24.com/product-details/mc239ba/apple-mac-mini-2.53ghz-320gb-desktop-computer]Apple Mac mini 2.53GHz 320GB Desktop Computer - Jigsaw Systems Ltd[/url] or Mac Pro 2006 Model with dual core 3.0Ghz, 4Gb ram (8x512mb) New 1TB Hard drive and 1 years warranty @ £1295. I mainly work with Adobe CS3, quark etc. I appreciate I'll be giving up the expandability and storage if I buy a Mini, but is the Mac Pro going to be that much better in terms of speed and useability? Thanks in advance for any advice. Simon [/QUOTE]
