- 2011 2 GHz Intel Core i7 16 GB Ram
I am currently using a MacPro from 2008, with 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon and 2 GB of Ram, running Mac OS X Server 10.5.
My debate is; do I upgrade the RAM on the MacPro, or Get a new MacMini 2.66 GHz Dual-core Intel Core i5.
It's pretty much, just a file server. No applications or mail accounts are being used.
My goal is to upgrade the software and performance due to a "laggy response" when accessing the server via Finder through other computers on the network.
All computers are Macs, wired via Cat6 ethernet, but are also utilizing wireless communication via an Airport Extreme.
Which of the two afore mentioned computers will offer the best performance with new server software?
