[QUOTE="David&karen, post: 1323860, member: 221138"] Hi everyone! Well I decided to try a Mac mini server: first because I found a refurbished one at the Apple store for $849 and because I could return it in 14 days if it was too slow. Well, that thing is faster than my early 2008 24" imac with the 3.06gz core 2 duo processor! And I don't mean a little faster, it's a whole LOT faster. I put in 8g of ram, and Aperture usually loads with just 1 bounce of the dock icon, and every edit I tried was very smooth and fast, much better than the imac(it had a 500g hdd, 6g of ram, and snow leopard). The video plays smoothly and quickly on my 24" Dell U2410 monitor. Strangely, the profile shows that 512mb is being used for the video, even though the official apple specs say 386mb only. In total, I am completely satisfied and like it much better than the imac for it's speed, size, and ability to use any monitor I need - and the Dell monitor is perfect for graphics. David [/QUOTE]
