[QUOTE="James, post: 78875, member: 7582"] The mini can probably do a bit, but if your going to be doing serious professional work i would go with something like a Power Mac G5 1.8 unit if finances would not allow a bigger machine like a 2.0 dual or 2.5 dual. The mini is really not meant, nor built for serious professional work. While it is a fine little machine for normal use, it just doesn't have the horsepower for daily serious professional work. Even a iMac G5 would be a better bet than the mini for that type of thing. If however, your finances won't allow the PowerMac G5, or the iMac G5 then i would certainly recommend: Mac mini 1.4 processor 1 gig ram 300 gig external firewire hard drive Super drive However, realize you will be in the deep end of the pool doing the dog paddle so to speak. If your going to make your living at this, having the top end tools gives you the edge over those who don't so an investment in those top tools is worth the extra price. [/QUOTE]
