Ahem, firewire is 400 mb/s unless I'm completely ill-informed. Am I?
400 MBits/s = 50MBytes/s roughly
Then again there is 800 Mbit/s Firewire.

I wanna let everyone know...I use PhotoShop 5.5. Yeah, and also, its on a
366MHz G3. Ive got a little over 512MB RAM. And my harddrive is what, ATA
16.7? Definitely 5400rpm. My point is, it runs fine. I guess
5.5s a little
"old", but seeing my specs and the specs of the mini I think itll
do just fine
unless you actually get paid to use PhotoShop.
Now Ive got a question about external drives. FireWire only
does 50MB/s.
And the MacMinis internal drive is ATA/100, I assume. So, if you really
want good performance out of a harddrive on the Mini, should you not replace
the
internal drive, since an external drive has the potential to be
slower due to
