[QUOTE="Funster, post: 212793"] Hello all I've been reading the forums for a few days, however I still need some confirmation on a few things. I'm looking to get Mini Duo for use in the livingroom. Mainly for storing music, photos, trailers, a bit of email and browsing from the sofa (couch for our US friends) on an LCD HDTV. This will be my first Mac! After many, many years of using a Dos/Win PC and a brief stint with the excellent OS/2 (anyone remember that?) I feel I'm ready for a change. My old trusty Compaq laptop is falling apart and before jumping straight for a MacBookPro I think it sensible to try out a cheaper option which will also be a light duty Media Centre. So here I am, reading and trying to see if what I want to do is possible with the Mini. 1. Can the resolution be set on the Mini to 1366 x 768 so I get 1:1 pixel mapping on the TV? 2. Is there enough power in the integrated Intel 950 graphic chip to play HD content at least the above resolution? 3. Does MS Exchange Server webmail work correctly in the Safari browser? 4. Can the Front Row interface be loaded automatically at startup? Thanks for reading my post. Cheers Funster [/QUOTE]
