[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 202163, member: 8287"] All I can say is this: The Core Duo Mac Mini will play 1080p HD video without one skip, The Core Solo will not play 1080p without dropping frames. On other benchmarks all over the net, turning off one core in the Core Duo really hurts performance. Anandtech did a compairson test on the iMac G5 iSight Vs Intel iMac and tested the Intel with both cores and with just one (you can turn off one in System Preferences) and with just one core the G5 was winning in many of the tests. I would always go for the Core Duo over the Core Solo if I could afford it for what I do on a computer. [/QUOTE]
