[QUOTE="bryphotoguy, post: 560856, member: 26695"] You wouldn't be able to power two displays with the Mini. The Core2Duo Minis are faster than the G4 Dual 1.8GHz. They're about 50% faster according to some benchmark tests. I am not sure how well a Mini would perform with what you need it to do. I don't see those apps being overly graphic intensive so it should work fine. I would only say get the G5 over the Mini for the HD space. If you're going to need a lot of space, having two internal HD's in the G5 would be better than running a USB or FireWire external if more space was needed if you had the Mini. [/QUOTE]
