[QUOTE="litespeed59, post: 172628"] I am currently using a Mac Mini for web development, and regularly have Safari, Firefox, iTunes, Transmit, TextMate, and Photoshop CS2 open at the same time. With 1GB of RAM, I think you will find that a Mac does a better job at managing multiple apps than on a Windows PC. I have not had any issues with overheating. With full size digital photos, Photoshop is a bit slower than my 3GHz Windows PC, but for web graphics the speed is fine. I have not tried Dreamweaver or Flash on the Mac, so I cannot comment on those. With regard to waiting on the Intel transition . . . I decided that being an early adopter on that one is not for me. I bought a Mini this past summer so that I could jump into OS X, and I'll wait for Leopard to decide on whether or not to buy an Intel Mac. I'm really happy now that I've switched, and I'm finding that the tools for web development on the Mac are great, especially if you are into designing with web standards. [/QUOTE]
