[QUOTE="coach_z, post: 197189, member: 5513"] the mini is also the their low end machine meant mainly for general computing stuff like word processing, mail, internet. it can be used for applications like adobe CS2 but will be slower. an external firewire hard disk could help alleviate your problems especially if you are doing music recording or video editing. this helps greatly because the drive is not being written to and read from at the same time. this way it reads the program stuff from your mini's hard disk and writes all your stuff to the external disk. if you want something witha faster drive look into used powermacs (i think you already have thought about that though in another thread) which can be purchased for less than a new powermac or imac but about twice as much as the mini. they are still great computers good luck! -chris [/QUOTE]
