[QUOTE="ItsMeDave, post: 369679, member: 29887"] Hi Everyone, I'm contemplating the switch to a mac and I'm looking at either a MacMini or a iMac 20". I have a perfectly great Samsung SyncMaster 204B that I don't want to just dump in a closet, hence, I'm considering the MacMini. I see that the tech specs for the iMac indicate that an external monitor is supported in both video mirroring mode and extended desktop mode. Video mirroring mode adds no value, and seeing as how the native resolution of my 204B is 1600x1200, which doesn't match the iMac, I wouldn't want to do it anyway. Is there a resolution limit if I connect my 204B to the iMac in extended desktop mode? Will I be able to run my monitor at it's native resolution? I wonder how much the performance of an MacMini would be increased with a memory upgrade (1Gb? 2Gb?)? I tried out a 512Mb model and thought it was kind of sluggish. And would the integrated video be up to the challenge of painting my 204B. Sorry for all the questions but I'm pretty keen on making the purchase soon. [/QUOTE]
Verification
How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
