[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 885821, member: 56379"] Getting the $599 Mac Mini & upgrading ram later is a great idea to keep costs down...but be warned...upgrading the ram on a Mac Mini is NOT easy! At least it wasn't on older Mini's...I'm assuming the new ones as well. A new Mac Mini could most definitely handle Battlefield 1942...a 2004 vintage game. But since you only have a WinTel PC at the moment (the way it sounds)...you would have to purchase the Battlefield 1942 Macintosh version. [url=http://www.aspyr.com/product/game_specs/36]Aspyr - Battlefield 1942™ Deluxe Edition[/url] Here's an update for the game: [url=http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/games/demos_updates/battlefield1942.html]Apple - Downloads - Demos & Updates - Battlefield 1942[/url] The system requirements say Mac OS 10.2.8...since we are talking 2004. If you buy a new Mac Mini...it's going to have something like Mac OS 10.5.6 (the most current version is 10.5.8). So there is the possibility there may be a "Old game...newer Mac OS" issue. Of course a game that old (if you can find it), should be cheap! - Nick [/QUOTE]
