[QUOTE="voodoodaddy, post: 223359, member: 18089"] Not saying you are lying, but I don't see how your internet speed is significantly faster. Besides the write speed of the hdd and the ram perhaps, I don't know what else would help the imac speed up your internet. I have 4 pcs, in a WIDE range of specs, from a lowly, almost 10yr old P3 450mhz to the machine my mini replaced, AMD XP2100 (1.67ghz) and my internet speed (surfing around/download) is virtually indentical on all. Now some of the other points I agree: 1) startup time is sick on my mini - 15-17sec 2) shutdown in mere seconds 3) virtually silent compared to my last pc which sounded like it was ready for takeoff All that said though, my 3yr old pc is still faster than the mini at opening apps. Mini is still stock 512mb ram, but so is pc. Hoping to upgrade ram soon and see an improvement. [/QUOTE]
