My Mac Mini happily runs SlimServer in the background and spends the rest of its time running iTunes, email, web browsing, file & print stuff and anything else I want to throw at it. As with all macs, the more RAM you throw at it, the happier it becomes. Mine has 512MB and copes with pretty much anything except for when I want to simultaneously watch a DVD, convert other video content for iTunes, print my kids' homework, have my email client running and run about 10 Safari windows while keeping SlimServer and other stuff going on. Not sure about the new Intel based Macs other than the fanboy sites have been waxing lyrical about speed. You should do a quick search on the forums here about running SlimServer on the Intel variants - I *think* it now all runs fast but I do remember a thread when they first came out. -- Jungle They say that laughter is the best medicine but, if you're an asthmatic, ventolin is probably a better bet. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jungle's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1998 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21777 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
