I am using a stock 1.25 GHz Mini with 256MB for a client's retail location. Great machine but I would want 512MB for every day office use. The slow laptop hard drive really REALLY sucks if you create system images or wind up having to compress or decompress >1GB folders -- my 576MB/Seagate Barracuda/450 Cube is much better then. Cheers, and enjoy that Mac Mini. --GS On 10/10/05 6:10 PM, "cube-request at listserver.themacintoshguy.com" <cube-request at listserver.themacintoshguy.com> wrote: > > Unless you have another use for the Cube or are in love with its styling > and form factor, get a Mini. >
