The device essentially tricks the GPU into being used, which speeds up OS X
rendering the UI. You need a similar thing to run OpenCL applications on
Windows. I'm not sure whether or if Linux can be made to work without it, but
if I do put Linux on a Mini I'll try it both ways.

yes, but that was after you paid extra for the server software.

Hi all,
Just wanted to report complete success with the HDMI-connected Fit-Headless on
the Mac Mini 6,1. The performance is now every bit as good as though a real
display were connected, which is especially noticeable in the Finder. So, if
you were put off a Mac Mini because of the need for
So, the Mac Mini now has a direct HDMI connection? Or, what adapter did you
use? Does voice over come through the TV speakers or the Mac mini itself?
Would I be correct in assuming that movies in 5.1 channel sound play in that
way through home theater systems using this?
Sincerely,

The Fit-Headless is the HDMI adaptor; it plugs into the HDMI port and has no
other end. Presumably if you wanted to use a telly you could without one of
these; the whole point is to avoid the silly performance degradation that
results from having no monitor attached at all. And of course
Nice. So for $15 US you have a little dongle that you plug into the HDMI
port to make it think it has a real HDMI display attached. It's actual
purpose is that many servers are run headless and folks screen share to
them only to discover the default display resolution is very low. This
tricks
Ah, in short, it's a dummy plug. Right?

It's OS X. My Mini exhibited the problem in OS X, but not in Windows via
Bootcamp. Yet, others report no problems in OS X, so it seems to be a software
problem on certain hardware.

You may also want to search Amazon and other retailers for this item, but I
have no specific links for any of them.

Right. I used to fake it by hooking up something to the VGA connection
to make it think there was a monitor but this sounds like a
simpler/cheaper solution. I think PCs just default to the lowest
possible resolution when no monitor is connected but the Macs, for
whatever reason, perpetually
I'll get the Mac Mini to join my I Mac in due course when I can afford it so
I'll acquire one too.

Hi,
Mostly a Mini issue. I run a number of Mac Pros with no monitor with no slow
down that I’ve noticed.

I strongly suspect Apple did this deliberately.
They don't like you using a Mini as a server. That might have made
sense when they sold the x-serv, but that product has been dead for some time.

I'd wait. The current Mini is approaching two years old and still
uses the IvyBridge chips.
