[QUOTE="d1scg0lf3r, post: 1034096, member: 150760"] My wife currently has a: Power mac G5 dual 1.8ghz cpu's memory 768mb Nvidia FX5200 80GB HDD running mac os 10.3.9 We are looking at a mac mini to replace the tower for a few reasons: 1. Need wireless N capability (her current setup can only use like a b or g airport card which we tried and it would not reach our router) 2. She also wants to upgrade her current software ie. Quark Express, Adobe Illustrator, Quickbooks... 3. Plus the new system would already come with the latest OS here are the hardware specs of the mac mini: 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 2GB memory 160GB hard drive 8x double-layer SuperDrive NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics Mac OS X Snow Leopard Both of us are Mac noobies so I am just wondering if there would be any hardware requirements that this would not meet for the latest editions of the software listed. Thanks in advance for any responses :) [/QUOTE]
