[QUOTE="James, post: 71216, member: 7582"] Just who is this "they" in "they said"? Certainly can't be some one that knows all that much about a Mac. Any so called review of any Mac on a PC forum i would say is rather subject to much bias and out right stupidity and FUD...sounds about like a review right out of Redmond... does the statement that "linux and open source are a cancer" ring any bells for you? OS X is not a "memory hog", you will find the large majority of mac users under or at 1 gig. 512 seems to be about what the average mac user runs at, unlike winders where 1 gig is almost a bottom line machine for doing much. If your gona give the mini a "fair trial", i would certainly upgrade the 256 to 512. 256 just simply is not enough to actually do things with, but buy it that way, don't go messin with anything that might void the warranty. Give the mini a fair shot, don't expect it to match a P4 3.0, but i think you will find that it will give other low end systems, and some mid systems quite a run for the money. [/QUOTE]
