[QUOTE="D R, post: 419176, member: 28730"] I bought a Mini last December with 512 meg of ram. Figured I would want/need more. I would typically write email, browse the web, play music on Itunes. I didn't stream audio or watch movies much. I found the multitasking fine for for what I did. I noticed it would start to slow down a bit once all of these tasks were going, but not alot. Itunes was the biggest culprit in the slow down that I noticed. I just upgraded to 2 gig and the difference is noticable. As a side note, I didn't use dashboard much to keep the ram usage down, and tried to keep the startup apps to a minimum as well. So, it would most likely suffice fine, but I didn't try video playback or streaming audio. [/QUOTE]
